Philippians 3:7(NKJV) 7 But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.
We may think at times, when things are being stripped away from us, that we have failed; we have taken a loss.
But we can reassure you that the loss we may be experiencing, might very well be for our gain!
Surrendering our lives to Christ, will cause us to have to let go of some things that may get in the way of our journey with Him. Some of those things, we may have worked long and hard for. It’s not necessarily that we are losing them because of anything we have done. It’s just that God knows what is right for us.
Although these things may feel like a loss, believe God when He tells us that as we follow Him, He will make us the HEAD and not the TAIL. That we are above only and not beneath!
Deuteronomy 28:13(NKJV) 13 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.
Don’t be afraid, disappointed or sad, when we see things being stripped away. Nothing in this life is more fulfilling than walking close to God. It is in Him we will find happiness, JOY and everlasting LIFE!
