Gain

"What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?" (Mark 8:36).

Give up my plans for God's plans?

Give up hoarding to gain treasures in heaven?

Give up frustrations to gain God's peace?

Give up unforgiveness to gain God's forgiveness?

Give up control of others to gain God's control of me?

Give up what is false and temporary for something true and lasting?

Give up security in possessions and gain certain security in the promise of God?

Give up grief to gain hope?

Isn't it amazing what we hold on to?
