THE DAILY BLUEPRINT - 2.18.09

Finders Keepers

Matthew 10.39
He that finds his life shall lose it:
and he that loses his life for My sake shall find it!

I have heard it said that this world is opposite of what heaven will be like!
I have heard it said that things are backwards down here - those who refuse to follow Christ seem to enjoy their sin filled lives - and many who have been redeemed seemed to be miserable - but that's not the truth - this is simply a lie of the enemy - the enemy of our souls wants sin to be attractive to us - we are programed by this world to do what feels good - but in CHRIST we should see things differently - the world says keep what you have and get more - Christ says give it all away to gain what cannot be destroyed! The world says try out as many potential mates as you can and then just live together and get married when its convenient - Christ says to remain with one mate for a lifetime -this world is backwards - Jesus says if we want to find our lives - we must lose then for Him! Jesus goes on to say those who have found their life in the here and now - will end up losing it - when we surrender our lives to Christ He keeps us - its finders keepers - once God takes over our lives- things change- the way things where before this are gone - we cannot walk in the way we did before Christ now - if we gain the whole world in the here and now and lose our soul -we have gained nothing! Are you losing your life for the sake of Christ? Or are you just sitting back and taking a break and sitting on the sidelines? We must be about our Father's business -the time is short -and the mission difficult - but the help we have in CHRIST is limitless! Find your life in CHRIST and not in this world - the world is passing away - but CHRIST remains! Amen!
