 God Today Devotions April 23, 2002 For whoever wants to save his life, will lose
it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. Life is precious and each and every moment of it is cause to celebrate. If we can learn to embrace the joys and the sorrows together we can see how in losing we will find. We will learn that we can celebrate at a wedding as well as a funeral. We can learn to cry and rejoice at both. When we are born we have the ability to breathe and move about on our own; but it has been exchanged for the security and safety that we experienced in our Mother's womb. In marriage two people gain a new relationship and new life, but lose some of the special bond and connection with their parents. Life changes things are lost and gained. All of our moments whether success or failure, gain or loss when embraced with the love of Jesus Christ enables us to truly celebrate and appreciate each precious moment we have been given. We will clearly see purpose and that there is nothing to fear in loss; but we are filled with a hope and a joy through Christ of what is to be gained. Let's celebrate today!! Prayer I thank you Lord that you remain the same, Your steadfast love never comes to an end. Help me today Lord to embrace Your love as I experience both joy and sadness. I thank you for my life and that you sustain me always. Each and every moment of my life is a gift from you and is truly precious. Amen.
