25 The one who loves his life will lose it, and the one who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. (John 12:25 CSB)

Do you enjoy life? Do you live it to the fullest?

Do you get by? Are you just surviving?

There is a lot to love about life and the living of it. There is much to say about just being able to get by at times. But when we cling so tightly to life are we really looking beyond the current feelings of joy or comfort or distress? Are we considering the bigger picture beyond ourselves? Or are we just living to satisfy our needs?

When we live beyond ourselves, live for a higher purpose; this, this is what gives real purpose to a fulfilling life.
