A slave can have life only by giving it away. "He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life." (Jesus)

Those who in fact risk all for God will find that they have both lost all and gained all.

To forget oneself is to be happy.

It is normal to give away a little of one's life in order not to lose it all.

We suffer to get well. We surrender to win. We die to live. We give it away to keep it.

We can only lose what we have first claimed.

It's in that place that we're reminded that true life comes when we're willing to admit that we've reached the end of ourselves, we've given up, we've let go, we're willing to die to all of our desires to figure it out and be in control. We lose our life, only to find it.

But life isn't hard to manage when you've nothing to lose.

In every part and corner of our life, to lose oneself is to be the gainer; to forget oneself is to be happy.

If you have lost your life, remember that He promises that you will find it.

He who risks and fails can be forgiven. He who never risks and never fails is a failure in his whole being.
