I am not much of a poker player really. I think I have played once. It was good fun and no money was involved as far as I rememeber. But I understand the concept of ‘all in’ I believe. I told a friend of me that I recently have had a feeling of ‘all in’ in my personal life. “I hope you have good cards” she replied.

 Am I going to win? Is the investment going to pay off? Are there any chances everything suddenly is coming into place? Of course. Are there any risk of loss? Of course.

I am glad I am not in a betting situation or playing cards for that matter. I am in secure business. But there are unknown factors nevertheless. Nothing in life is 100%. Unless…

Jesus was challenging a young rich man to give away his wealth because it clearly was standing in his way to get hold of the real stuff. He actually walked away sad after their conversation. Jesus’ followers were shocked by this:
‘Peter said to him, “We have left all we had to follow you!”
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.” ‘

Jesus encouraged them to invest their whole life, energy and focus. What’s it all about? I do believe my investment is paying off. I know this is safe business. It’s all about the person that gives the guarantee and stands behind the promise. It is not my idea.
