Life

Whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Matthew 16:25-26

The safest place to be is the place of total surrender to the Lord.

Until we are conviced that the Life Jesus offers us is better than the life we are trying to save  we will continue to hold on, even if that life is actually producing death. We can't be sure until we know his heart and his love for us and we can't really know that unless we spend time with him. Not time doing for him but time being with him.
