What remains

Life is a series of trade-offs. Many are the times that we will make critical decisions that would define our directions. But remember that these decisions would also describe our devotion. What way to take? What compromise to make? Life is not a game of chances. It is an endless series of choosing and risking and deciding. It matters what risks are you willing to dive into. Are you risking for what will matter?

Therefore, be willing to let go of the things that wear you out and drag you down. Know how to play your part in the bargain. But remember, the only nonnegotiable aspect of the deal is our spiritual values and ministry. You have to ground yourself on what is eternal because in the end, this is what remains.
