He is no fool who loses what he cannot keep to gain what he can not earn.

     Jim Elliott

 

I don’t know who Jim Elliott is—but I have always LOVED this quote.  And nothing could be more true.

 

YOU have a terminal disease.

YOU will not make it out of this life alive in the flesh.

YOU must confront the reality that you are either an accident or a beautifully designed organism with a heart, a conscience, and a destiny that is different than all other living things.

 

I recommend the book of John.  

 

Written by an uneducated fisherman turned author.

In a time where people were deeply punished for taking a stand.

In a place where he had no political, military, or economic power.

 

John 12  27 “Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name!” 

 

If what John said is true……Jesus chose YOU.

 

HE chose to go to the cross.

HE chose to forgive you.

HE wanted to create a place for you.

 

The disciples (including John) went ALL IN to make this book be known that you might read it.

 

You can’t keep your life.  It is not yours. It is either a random act of nature and you will soon be expired OR it belongs to God.

 

Who will you choose to Give It to?

 

Give It

He is no fool who loses what he cannot keep to gain what he can not earn.
