"Every day, people seek profits for the investments they make in time, in effort, in monies. Every day, some people win -- what seems to them -- "the whole world." I'm not sure Jesus equates winning the whole world with loss of one's soul. Rather, I think Jesus implies one's focus ought not to be on getting "the whole world", but on getting a relationship with Him so as to keep one's soul."
HOLDING FAST TO GOOD
“Holding fast to the good is such a map for happiness. If you see the good in the other, then you are able to bless the other even as he curses you. If you see the good in the moment, then you will not repay evil for evil. Instead you will do what is perceived as honorable to all. Such a paradox exists in the Christian walk. We walk by faith, hoping for that which is unseen. Our hope is that good will outdo evil, that perfection will triumph over imperfection, that God will be triumphant over the evil one. And of course God is triumphant and good does overcome evil. Perfection does overwhelm imperfection, and holiness swallows sin. Therefore, let your love be true.”
Thanks Fouflobo — so, did you buy a copy yet? 😀 Carley
Thanks OneAnna65 and Susie. Hope you’ll both consider buying a copy of Metal Man Walking (MMW, for short).
Thanks again, Sharmishtha.
I’m going to buy a copy, Carly. I just keep forgetting when I get home from work.
I can relate to that myself. I keep meaning to buy a copy of a novel a friend of mine wrote, but when I get home I forget… I’m gonna do that right now. Thanks for the gentle ‘push’ so to speak… I hope you enjoy METAL MAN WALKING!
