As I head overseas to India, it dawns on me, that Christine and I have left it all behind or in a couple situations, lost it all as we endeavored to follow The Holy Spirit. We have always been able to look back on those events as building blocks, but after all these years we now know we have never LOST anything! Jesus has never put us in or pulled us away that there was not more than anything we had before. This is not just financial, but spiritual. As the song says, I lost it all to find Evetything in salvation, yet today I know, even in His service, to lose it all is to have the riches of the throne of Grace a breath of prayer away! MJTHURMOND
Phil. 3:7-10 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for † the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
