whoever loves his life loses it
It's difficult to make sense of those words when we all know that we lose when we give. If we have a hundred pieces of bread, giving away half of them to others will not leave us with 200 pieces of bread. If we give away our lives to others, than it is the recipient that gains, and not us, right?
But Jesus speaks of another life. He speaks of something else to gain. He speaks of so much more than what we can think of. The problem lies in us seeing life as merely what the world tells us life is.
Life is not about gaining. Life is not about success. Life is not about getting rich or being popular. Life is not about getting all that you want. If you see it that way, than yes, Jesus is crazy. But He's not.
If we want to live life to the fullest, we need to follow God's word. But to do that means to have faith in Him, to have complete trust and abandon to Him. As I always say, it is not our job to worry. Let God take care of everything. Just follow His words and let Him surprise you.
