Perhaps Life is learning how to die
Most of our lives we spend trying to get and accumulate knowledge and experiences, and trying to understand ourselves to a greater degree, and we think that's what life is, right? Maybe life is learning how to die, learning how to give yourself away... To forget the fact that Christ Himself was first brutally murdered, and betrayed, and beaten beyond all recognition is to forget the most important part of the story.
Here's a song by Jon Foreman, the lead singer of Switchfoot titled Learning how to Die. Let's learn to give ourselves away =)
in His love and mine,
Daryl
