So, do you want to know how to lose your life so you can live? Well, what do you live for?
You can take that question a few different ways but it can only be answered correctly with fulfillment.
So the next question would be; What is fulfillment?
You could say success, Love, true satisfaction, and many other things. However, how you define any one or all of these given things will ultimately define your life and the quality of it.
The fulfillment of all these things can be summed up and found only on one thing.
Jesus.
What does Jesus have to do with losing to live a real life? Everything.
Let me give you a key to all the things mentioned above. There is a reason Love is translated as Charity in the King James and other Bible translations.
Because God is Love and the greatest Love/Charity ever given was a Life and his name was Jesus and he was the incarnate Son of God who chose to die for the whole world.
He even lived as Charity/Love as he gave everywhere he went as he walked this earth in the flesh as an example for us.
He gave of healing, guidance, teaching, food, spiritual insight and so much more!
Give It All Away
The sooner you realize and start living a life not unto yourself, the sooner you will actually be living.
God knows the desires of you heart and he also knows the intent of your desires, so if the intent of your desires is to hold back your life to try to save it, you have learned nothing of what Love is.
Love is the choice to constantly give and you can’t give what you don’t have.
So, if God want’s you to give you flourish by giving and you feel you have nothing to give, let me tell you something.
If you are walking this earth you have something to give even if you don’t have 2 pennies to rub together.
A word of encouragement, a testimony, time, a hug, a hand, a pat on the back, an ear to lend, and many other things that don’t cost millions of dollars but are worth much more.
Society Bound And Freedom
You see we are programmed by society to get, get, get to gain satisfaction but the reality of gaining true satisfaction and freedom is just the opposite.
It’s as simple as this, Love God and Love people and that can be translated; Give to God and Give to people.
Does God need you to give to him, no, but your needs depend on you giving to God. You see, he said to test him on giving.
Malachi 3:10 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.
I wonder how many people who don’t believe in regular giving to the house of God actually tested it to see if the love and the return of Love/Charity of God actually works.
There’s nothing better than receiving the Charity of God. Don’t get me wrong, giving monetarily will not save you, Salvation is a gift God gave freely that cost him his Son.
To live a quality and blessed life of salvation you must live a selfless life while giving it away in Love/Charity as a living sacrifice for/to the ultimate sacrifice……. Jesus.
Now you know exactly how to lose your life so you can live.
