I love this verse. It beautifully reminds me that there is a cost to most things in this life and that cost is not always financial. Sometimes we are blind to the cost we pay because there are no immediate $$$ signs. The financial cost may come later or it may be a loss of time, energy health etc. But normally there is a cost to gain a benefit. The simple awareness of this helps! More importantly, Jesus gives us a lot of ways to cope with this and direction to succeed. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this 🙏🙌
