Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will find it." - Matthew 16:24-25
Where do you look to find the life that you truly desire? Do you really like the life you have? If not, why not?
Jesus said that in order to find life, first you have to lose it. So maybe the question should be, "Have you lost your life yet?" And if you have lost your life, to whom or what did you lose it? Have you lost your life to your work, career, or ministry? Have you lost your life to an earthly relationship? Maybe you lost your life to bitterness, anger, or grief.
The truth is that each person will eventually lose their life to something or someone, but only one Person will give His own life in return. You can find life, but only if you lose it to Jesus.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. - Abraham Lincoln
