Give In
36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels." Mark 8:36-38
You have all heard about throwing in the towel. It was a way to stop a fight from getting out of hand when a fighter really was quite injured. How many of us search the world for answers to our needs and find that it is time to throw in the towel because we have had enough? What happens when you throw in the towel? You give in to the fight and fall into submission to what the world has for you and a little bit of you is drawn away from the Lord. How about not looking to the world and the life you think you should have, but look to the Lord who can enter the ring for you and help you fight the battle for the life He wants you to have. Focus less on throwing in the towel, and more on wiping our brow with that towel after a difficult fight. You will be much better off and I would rather gain what my Father has in store for me than lose my soul.
Have a great weekend.
