Count the cost

Going to a shop, you may see many things that you’d like to have. There’s one snag though – they all have a price tag.
Luke 14:31-33 (NIV) “Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won’t he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.”
