"Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." Matthew 10:39 It's a paradox. We all desire to find life—to discover our purpose; to experience a sense of fulfillment. We create expectations, we set goals to achieve them and we strive after what we believe to be the best life. Yet worldly pursuits only yield temporary satisfaction. Our best life—God's favor-filled life for us—beckons us from a place of selflessness. When we choose the path of surrender, sacrifice and service, we operate alongside the supernatural. It's the example that Jesus lived. If we want to attain riches and honor, our path must begin with humility and the fear of the Lord. In what ways can you lay down your life for Jesus today?
