Cost of Following Jesus

This past Sunday we heard about the cost of following Jesus - adopting a different worldview than what is around us and being willing to give up everything in that following of Jesus.  I was personally challenged by that - what do I not want to give up - investment in a home, close to family, style of dress during the week and on Sunday, issues that are dear to me, things that I think identify me.  Seems like it is the little things that are the hardest to let go - not that Jesus removes them - its letting him make the choice of what should be there.  I have been wondering what that means in my life - last Spring I told the church I was going to try and work from the question "what would Jesus do" and I find that more of a challenge than I thought it would be.
