But I don't agree.
Sometimes, if you consider something important enough, there will be times where you have to let go.
How many of us value our lives? We do. We'll find ways not to die before our time. We'll exercise, take vitamins, laugh more. We'll adopt a pet, eat organic, stop smoking. Anything to improve the quality of our lives, because our lives are that valuable.
But Jesus considered our lives important enough - to let His go.
For our sake.
We never want to let go of things that we consider important. Maybe we think we'll never have another chance, that we'll lose whatever it is forever.
That's not the case.
Jesus let go of His life. Now He's in Heaven sitting at the right hand of God. He's in a better place compared to this earth.
Sometimes we are fearful of letting go because we don't know what the future holds.
Jesus already set an example.
Choose Christ and let go of what you deem as precious, and He will see to it that what you get in return is worth it.
God knows our heart, and when we step out and move into new unfamiliar territories, He honors us, not for what we have or have not done, but because we faithfully put Him at the center of all we do. *samnaka
"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to His own advantage; rather, He made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name."
