off the top of my head

from the bottom of my heart
"he is no fool who gives what he cannot keep
to gain that which he cannot lose."
-jim elliot
"For the wages of sin are death but the
free gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord." -Romans 6:23
years ago, when i watched "end of the spear,"
i did not take into consideration the sacrifice
made by missionaries- that they lost their lives
for the sake of their faith- to gain life.
although in most cases, losing one's life
in a literal sense is not what one wants-
one should desire and long for Christ
and be willing to give up his or her life
to Christ. by which means, one will,
in exchange, spend an eternity with Him.
