I remember some years back I used to tell my mother that I love her so much that I cannot even afford to lose her. I wanted to be the first one to die hoping that she will have another baby girl to replace than for her to leave me with the pain and the grief. I just hated losing her because I had already lost my father. I was so close to my mother. We had more than a mother daughter relationship. She was my friend. I spoke to her about everything and she did like wise. I still repeat: I did not want to lose her. Its was just too much for me.
But why do we hate losing things? Why do we want to have things forever?
Some of the reasons we have may be because we don't want to be losers. That is more than correct! Nobody wants to be a loser. We cannot lose something we have achieved with sweat and maybe even with tears. Nobody knows how we got where are and have what we have today except us! So, we don't want to just let the wind pass with what is ours by!
I think we should start seeing things the way in a Godly way. God never allows us to lose things just so we can be losers. For us to achieve even greater dreams, we must go through the losing process. He is then paving the way for the bigger dream that we have always had. God is making us ready to please Him with what we have achieved.
How are we going to see the need to glorify God if we never went through loads of trouble? If we were never really put to shame? He is the God of the poor, just for the glory of His name.
In all that we hope to achieve, we must be ready to lose something valuable to us as a sacrifice and with a motive to praise His name at the end. “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him” John 9:3
Stay Blessed!
