Loving and Losing

"He that loveth his life loseth it." If we love self, we shall lose all. If we hate our life, we shall keep it. The life given up and devoted to God and duty, sacrificed in doing good, coming to nothing, perhaps, before men, shall grow into eternal blessedness, shall rise into nobleness, beauty, splendor of life, in the heavenly glory. A man said recently: "I have worked all my life, but have never got ahead, have never gathered any money. There has always been some human need waiting when I had begun to accumulate a little, and I had to use my savings to give help." That man has made a great deal of money, but he has little in hand. He has hated his own life and has given all to help others. Yet he has not been losing—he has been keeping his life for eternity.—S. S. Times.
