Those who would save their life will lose it.
Those who will lose their life for my sake
and for the gospel will save it.
—Mark 8.35
If you fear your life is your flesh
you will die.
If you trust your life is love
you will be given life.
Life small enough to cling to
is vanishingly small.
Life given away in love
is infinite.
To be truly alive
is to love.
All else is death.
Why even try
for anything else?
