So what is this 'giving your life away' thing?
I do know one thing in order to do it there is much dying to self, there is sometimes losing everything you have especially when 'everything' gets in the way. There are bloody knees and wet tear soaked collars. There's wrinkled pages in The Book of Life that has nostrils. There's kicking and screaming and finally a net that needs to be left on the beach shore. Your reward for now is bread (out of this world bread) instead of a rock and a fish (someone to love) instead of a snake. You get marching orders with your Armor and Sword to go out and be ready in a moments notice. The battle is won by feeding your enemy, loving your enemy, praying for those who persecute you. Your armor is as light as His yoke and His Sword you are carrying divides the Soul and the Spirit (woah! or is that ouch?), joints and marrow. You get eyes to see with (but not to look at circumstances) and an exposed heart to feel with.
I do know that giving my life away, there is everything to gain.
