Jesus doesn’t ask for partial devotion. He calls us to pick up our cross daily—to surrender completely. That’s hard to hear in a world that tells us to protect, preserve, and profit. But in this reflection, I want to share why losing your life for Jesus is actually the best investment you’ll ever make.

Aging provides us with the chance to look back and recognize God’s provision and guidance throughout our lives, offering humility and gratitude for His role in our success and longevity.

Are we willing to let our desires, our passions, our definitions of what is right truly die? According to Jesus, that is the path to both eternal life and receiving honor from our Heavenly Father.
