We find by losing. We hold fast by letting go.



"We find by losing. We hold fast by letting go.

We become something new by ceasing to be something old."
- Frederick Buechner


"And He was also telling them a parable:
'No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old garment;
otherwise he will both tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.'"
Luke 5:36


I realize that the temple of the Creator of the earth can not have a covenant with idols.
Let me find You as the True-one,
and let me cast away the bad things in my life and let me stick to the correct values.
Let me be a temple of the living God.
Jehovah, come living among us and be my Lord God the Almighty.

The thought of losing rekindles the joy of having

"The thought of losing
rekindles the joy of having."
- Tom Payne

"Therefore, having been justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith
into this grace in which we stand;
and we exult in hope of the glory of God."
Romans 5:1-2

Due to distance ourselves from this world it seems to many that we have a lot of losses.
But by following Christ we win a lot.
We are pleased and grateful that we are justified by faith.
We are pleased that through Jesus Christ we have received reconciliation.
And we are grateful to you God, that you have made all this possible for us poor sinners.
