Losing Life
Exercise obedience; find Wisdom.
Find Wisdom, find life.
Save life, lose it.
Lose life, find it.
The time to lose life is when the choice to lay it down still exists rather than having it taken at judgment.
Losing this life must be chosen with conviction; it is accomplished through relentless obedience to the Lord, replacing temporal appetites for this life with spiritual appetites for the eternal.
He rewards those who diligently seek to know Him with wisdom; and wisdom cannot be compared with anything:
She is that important because she holds the keys of the door to godliness, and godliness profits both in this life,
And in the life to come.
