Lose all – Gain all!
Matthew 16v25 “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
The key to an abundant life in God is letting go of ourselves and welcoming Jesus and His will into our lives. Don’t forget to relinquish your life to the one who gave up his own life for you. You see, he took it back up again, just so that when we lose our life to him, we can have it back forever with him.
I know its hard in a 90mph Society to Yield to God’s Will, but its a requirement if we desire to Grow in God. Be encouraged to Lose Your/my Life to God – starting with the small things!
Phil, laying down the life means throwing yourself onto the burning alter of God (Romans 12:1), I dunno about you but that scares me a little. The pain, the heat, the sacrifice. But you are right…once the chaff gets burned away the result is true, meaningful, abundant life…get the fire lit and get on..
