Stop Searching
In Matthew 10:39, Jesus tells the disciples, “He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.”
Searching for something? I have heard so many people say they are trying to find themselves, and they search their entire life, and find nothing but heartache, disparity, pain, agony and eventually death. It is really not worth finding because we will surely be disappointed in what we find. I found myself once, and upon that discovery, I was in fear for my life. I packaged it in a same day delivery envelope addressed to Jesus, with a short note, “it’s all Yours, do as You will with it.” This is the reason Jesus tells us if we find our life, we will surely lose it. However, if we lose our life, we will give up on our own personal search, our desires, our wants, our lusts of the flesh for Christ’s sake, we will find the true and pure life worth finding, and a life worth living. My beloved, let us give up our lives and let God work His perfect will for us through it. Glory to God forever and ever. Amen.
