It took alot to be a disciple. Imagine having the privilege of getting to follow Jesus wherever He went, watching His every move and response to every situation encountered in life, so that you may have the Wisdom to derive a Holy and Acceptable response to every situation in your life, that must have been amazing!
I bet that it took alot as well however. It must have took the patience to develop discipline. Discipline enough to not only see what Jesus did, but to follow in His footsteps when it comes to the Father. It must have taken reading the Word every day, and having the Discipline to spend time with God in Prayer, Worship, and Admiration.
Wait! Are we not supposed to be disciples of Christ?
Then maybe we should, no we definitely should, develop the discipline it takes to stay in the Word of the Lord, (the Bible), and in Prayer and personal time with the Father, always drawing closer to Him. The point is however, this does not just happen. You do not just wake up one morning with the Discipline to continually seek the Father. It takes pushing those personal boundaries that keep us apathetic, and pushing to come to God daily, to develop the Discipline that it takes to be a True Disciple.
