Obtaining by losing

Sometimes we focus on the by-products life (work, blessing, prosperity, success, a relationship etc) so much that we become desperate to get them or set them right, and would do our intellectual best to achieve it. When we do so we are sure to get disappointed. The reason for such a thing to happen is: we wouldn't have placed the thing we seek in the hands of God. Or even if we had placed them in His hands, we would often meddle with it by taking it from Him and try to work on it by our own intellect. The result of which would be frustrations, delays and disappointments.

Only when we are able to fully leave it with God to work on the thing we seek and are able to trust His way to deal with it, will there be achievement.

The Word of God says,

Luke 17:33 (New Living Translation)

If you cling to your life, you will lose it, and if you let your life go, you will save it.

Here 'life' refers to the by products of our life... all the essential aspects of our life. When we let them go into the hands of God, then all the by products which we seek will fall into right place and we don't really have to struggle to derive them...
