Losing & Finding your Life

Spread the love

Luke 17:33 “Whoever tries to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.”

In seeking to preserve your own life you will lose it. If you are prepared to lose your life for Christ’s sake, you will find it. This is your hour of destiny. Choose wisely, do not throw it all away! I believe that such a moment comes in the life of every child of God – the moment when God’s purpose for your life hangs delicately in the balance. It may be that at this very moment, these words find you too poised upon the threshold of that which Christ redeemed you, and at one and the same time you are both frightened and excited.

Fulfillment comes with the realization that you do not have in yourself what it takes. Death to all that you are in your own inadequacy is the only gateway through which you may enter into the fullness of all that Christ is, so that you may live miraculously in the power of His resurrection, crying from your heart, “Lord Jesus, I can’t but you can, and that is all I need to know – take over!”
