“...he that loseth...for my sake shall find it.”~ Matt. 10:39
Paul had suffered the loss of all things. The only thing left on the shelves of Job’s life was the dust where his losses used to sit. And Peter’s testimony was that he had lost everything to follow Christ.
Years ago, a gospel singer by the name of Dave Boyer sang a song that blessed me each time I heard it. The title was “I Lost It All to Find Everything.” The three above-mentioned men found this to be so in their lives.
Christ promises that no person can lose anything for His sake that He will not replace the loss one-hundred fold, not only in this life, but the one to come.
I’ve heard testimonials from saints who tell of the things they have lost for Christ. I am always tempted to ask them the question, “And what did you find?” The emphasis is not on the loss, but the gain. To lose and not find is a double loss.
Losers, for His sake, are not weepers.
