It doesn't have to be the most convenient at the time. But there are times when you must make that sacrifice to break even.
Looking at the story of Abraham and when he was ready to lay down his only son as a sacrificial lamb, he was obedient to God and he was ready to make any sacrifice because he knew who God is and what he can offer, that singular act made him the father of all nations.
But In our world today not many are willing to making sacrifices yet want to see results.
How far can you go in making sacrifices? How long can you withstand the heat? How much effort can you put into productivity at work? How much growth have you contributed to your organization? How much value have you added to yourself?
Don't be like the servant in the Bible who instead of having return on income given to him for investment, buried it. We have so many of such people around us. They have got all they need to break even, but keep complaining of what they don't have.
It's hard work, but you really need to make some sacrifices at some point to break even. It has never been comfortable but it is life-changing.
The story of Abraham is a perfect one, he would have said it's not possible or it took me some decades before I bore him, it wasn't a good request at the moment but he made the sacrifice and was willing to give in.
Just a little more, that sacrifice can fetch you your gold.
