Yesterday, I heard a sharing from a brother about his experience that opened up his eyes. For the last 30 years, he thinks he is okay, until the one experience that force him to look deep and hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That sharing triggered me, together with few other incidents. There are times in my life that I experience those moments. That I had to go alone and wrestle with God like Jacob. It’s better off to wrestle with God and became limping afterwards, then to go on with life but unsettled. It is better of, far better of, to lose everything but to know Christ, identified with him in his death and to know the power of his resurretion, than to go with life having everything but empty of his power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or to borrow Jim Elliot’s famous words,”he is no fool who give what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s better to lose everything and follow Jesus, than to have everything but lose Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
