The Price of Doing the Impossible
“For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.” – Matthew 16:25 We’ve been talking a lot about the struggle that comes with pursuing seemingly impossible feats for God, and today, I want to tell you that some things are actually worth dying for. The beauty of the promise of eternity is that no matter how much it costs us, even if it’s our mortal life, every sacrifice we make will one day be redeemed and restored to us! Isn’t that a life-changing thought? I’ve always loved the story of St. Boniface. Although there are several versions circulating, the one that I’ve heard the most is that, in the seventh century, the Pope was looking for someone to take the Gospel to Germany, which was known to be nearly unreachable for Christ because of the presence of pagan Druids.
