(I read this on someone else's blog and it moved me)
“May you find your life in losing it. May you live your life
by dying daily. May you give it all and keep nothing for
yourself. May your treasure chest be filled to overflowing
with the priceless crowns of sacrificial devotion.
May you give yourself away in a joyful and risky abandon.
May you follow the Lamb even if He takes you up a hill and
onto a brutal cross. Especially if He takes you there.
May you turn your back on safety and comfort and predictable
and soft - and pour yourself out like a drink offering of love on
the least of these, on the most of these, for the death and the life
of these. May you spend what you cannot keep to gain what
you can never lose. May you awake to live His dream, not
yours, or your country’s , nor your family’s. And may you rejoice
to hear the applause which is a weight of eternal glory too heavy
to bear.” (~Timothy Stoner
