Think about it. We are all clutching at straws. We live with the supreme confidence that ‘all of that’ , whatever it is, does not apply to us. The joke’s on us, but we’re cracking it, and our grave is the punch line. Does God call you to give up your life, or your addiction to tea? You can’t begin a perfect morning without your tea, can you? Give it up, it it overshadows the fact that you should be elated that you are alive to see another day.
The only way to find your life is to hand it over. Not to anyone on Earth, but to the one in heaven.
Does this panic you? Jesus is holding a cup of tea in the picture, don’t worry. Drink of eternal life, pal.
