My Days with Christ Jesus

Day 12

January 12
"He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."

What does it mean to live? To be alive? To have life?

To some life is about having all the things we need and want... about riches, status, possessions, a persons' achievements, social standing, & etc. Those "some" are blind.

The things we think is life, those things we value so much, the things we hold on to aside from God will fade...because apart from God there's no life. Life comes from God. His breath gave us life.

In this World, if we are here to seek our own life, goodness, satisfying ourselves only... we will end up losing our lives. Digging our own graves. Walking towards the pit, because in this world, in our lives, God should be the only one that matters...only thru Him we can see life, life everlasting.

Ans the life we so desire is only possible if we seek God first. (Matt. 6:33)

This verse can also mean that we can have life if we deny ourselves and acknowledge God...deny our dreams, status, etc.

If we acknowledge ourselves, which means trusting ourselves and denying God in the process...ending denying life...(surely) death is inevitable.

Be sure to choose life...choose God...choose Jesus for He is the way, the truth, and the life.

To God be the glory!
