Limerick

A call to disciples, both humble and true,
To love less their possessions, and follow anew.
Count cost before choosing,
No rush or refusing,
For faith must be valued above what is due.

Potential actions to take in response

A practical way to respond to Luke 14:25-33 is to reflect on your commitments and priorities in everyday life. For example, you could identify what truly matters most to you—whether it’s family, work, personal growth, or helping others—and assess whether your actions align with those priorities. Consider making intentional choices that support your values, even if they require sacrifice or change. For instance, if helping others is important to you, look for ways to volunteer or support causes that matter. This approach encourages you to evaluate your daily decisions and ensure they reflect your core principles, much like the teaching in the passage about counting the cost before making significant commitments.
