Gain Through Loss

Matthew 19:29 - "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name’s sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life."

Jesus addresses every type of possible wealth in this verse which people generally value. Property, family relationships, and finances are the foundations of life here upon earth. However, the Lord is telling us when we allow the paradigm to shift from temporal thinking to spiritual reasoning, then the law of reciprocity is released in both realms. Physical and material sacrifices for Jesus' sake equate to multiplicity of reaping both in this life and the one to come.

We must guard ourselves from a sense of ownership of anything, whether it is people, places, or things. Hold things loosely and allow God to give and to take away as He chooses. His promise is that we will have well above anything we can ask or think at the end of our life if we will believe and follow accordingly.
