... but whoever loses his life for Me will find it.

I recall a conversation with a fren yesterday. He was talking about how a religion able to manipulate the believer (in the sense controlling the thought and mindset of believer). I wasn’t able to give much to that on the spot. But now I have something to say.

Matthew 16:25 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it.

It is not able whether our life is under control by a higher form (in my case, I call it God Almighty). It is really about a willing heart to commit one’s life into His hand and to trust in Him.

Well. How to trust when the evidence is not enough? If you do not have the faith to believe in aircraft technology, you will not get on board aero plane, even if I tell you this Air Bus is Un-crash-able and its engine never fails, and it design went thru stringent study, and it has been test fly for more than 1000 hrs.

Luke 7:47-49 Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." The other guests began to say among themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."

By the testimony of many, we move from unbelief to skeptical, and by faith, we in hope want to experience the love and realness of The Great I am. At least I am one of these. I moved from not knowing, to know a bit, to anti-christian, to doubtful, and to with believing attitude I embark on this journal of faith.

Here is one verse to encourage all never get tire to share you story.

For the Bible says:
Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

We overcame the enemy by the blood fo the Lamb, our Redeemer, and by the word of our testimony.

Glory to God.
