Could it be that we lost something because had we not lost it, we would have lost ourselves?

I have found that unless I surrender every part of my life to God every part of my day, I will end up missing most every part of my life every day of my life.

We have heard it said that we need to ‘stand up and fight’. I would suggest that the most powerful way to do that is to ‘kneel down and pray’. The former might win the battle, but the latter will win the war.

I wonder if it’s in losing everything that we realize that all we’ve lost is the ‘nothing’ that we mistakenly thought was ‘everything.

To win at all costs is to lose at any cost.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, an absolutely certain way to lose something as quickly as possible is to forget the privilege you have to possess it in the first place.

Likely one of the biggest failures is believing that I’m always on verge of failure. An even bigger failure is to believe that I can’t do anything about that.

I think we fear that if we give ourselves away we are certain to lose ourselves in the giving. And I would suggest that you cannot lose yourself in ‘giving yourself away.’ Rather, you lose yourself when you ‘squander’ yourself away.

By choosing comfort we are in the very same decision choosing to miss every great thing in life, and that thought should be anything but comforting.
