That’s what Jesus calls us to.
Die to live. Lose to gain.
Matthew 10:39 (English Standard Version)
39
John 12:24 (The Message)
24-25“Listen
carefully: Unless a grain of wheat is buried in the ground, dead to the
world, it is never any more than a grain of wheat. But if it is buried,
it sprouts and reproduces itself many times over. In the same way,
anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys that life. But if
you let it go, reckless in your love, you’ll have it forever, real and
eternal.
We have to not be afraid to believe God. We do live by faith, not by sight.
Easier said than done but totally worth it.
