Remember this old hymn? Billy Graham has this going when he does his invitations. It’s lyrics are haunting:
I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
No turning back no turning back
The world behind me the cross before me
The world behind me the cross before me
The world behind me the cross before me
No turning back no turning back
Though none go with me I still will follow
Though none go with me I still will follow
Though none go with me I still will follow
No turning back no turning back
Though none go with me I still will follow
Though none go with me I still will follow
Though none go with me I still will follow
No turning back no turning back
I wonder how many of my friends are looking forward and not backwards. Day by day we need to count the cost, pick up our baggage, and follow. Not hard, but not easy.
