" As human beings, we are made to live for adventure.
Without adventure, our hearts die, become dull, and we lose heart.

God is the most interesting person I have ever met.
I feel like my whole life has been an episode of 24, simply because I chose to lose my life instead of trying to save it.
It’s funny to me that Christians would try to save their lives and not trust God.
That is the most ridiculous choice any person could ever make.

Jesus said clearly,
lose your life and you will save it, save your life and you will lose it,
what good is it to gain the whole world but forfeit your own soul?

The true path to freedom is to lose it all,
that is, lose yourself to the things of this world
and every hold that this world has upon your heart.

When you think your happiness comes from owning the things of this world,
you are fooled, because that is when the world has owned you.

We try to hold on to our dreams, our relationships, our money,
our assets, our titles and positions, our possessions and pleasures,
not realizing those very things we hold on to are the very things that have enslaved us and kept our hearts from truly being alive.

You find yourself when you lose yourself.

Don’t be owned by any man or woman, but God Himself.

I have nothing to lose, cause I don’t own anything anyways.
I’m a dead man walking, but fully alive.
My life is in His hands
and whatever He gives me it’s a privilege, an honor, a blessing, a grace
that gives me the chance to know Him more and make Him known.

If you are still holding onto your life it’s about time to lose it.
You want freedom?
You want to live the adventure you were born to live for?
Then lose your fears, lose yourself and lose it all,
cause there in that place you’ll find what you’ve always been looking for.

Yes, even lose the one you love,
meaning this, I can love a girl, but I can’t have her.
She’s not mine, she belongs to the Lord.

God can give her to me as much as He can take her away.
I’m just a steward of the things He gives me.

I’m saying this
because so many of my friends seem to want to hold on to that girl, to that boy, to that relationship as if they owned it
(note: I am not talking about marriage, I’m talking about friends who are in dating relationships).

Don’t try to own anything or it will own you.
Be good stewards, always with a heart of surrender
and you will be of good faith and walk in infinite peace.
In time, God will lead you to the one He has prepared for you in marriage covenant.
Be of good courage!"
