What’s a life for but to spend generously?

Morning: Psalm 80; Deuteronomy 8:1-10; James 1:1-15
Evening: Psalm 77; Leviticus 25:35-55; Luke 9:18-27

It is a constant theme with Jesus that life is more than personal well-being or satisfaction.  For Jesus, you can only find those things if you do not make them your goals.  When you make your own life your top priority, you are lost.  But if you lose yourself ... if you know that Love always leads beyond you and your own needs ... if you accept that you will have to face hardships in the service of Love ... then you will know fullness life.  What’s a life for but to spend generously?
