This reminds me of what Jesus said.
Whosoever shall gain his life shall lose it and whosoever shall lose his life shall gain it in this world and the one to come. (paraphrased)
A few years ago my life was so out of control. I got on my knees and asked God to just take my life, just take everything I had that wasn't pleasing to him and make me over from scratch.
It made all the difference in the world. Now I can honestly say that on my own, my life is worth nothing, but with His help and His causing "men to give unto my hand..." and knowing that "no weapon formed against me shall prosper" and that his seed would not be begging bread, I can live my life free of fear and it's like opening up to the blessings that he has in store for me. My life without this is worthless and without meaning, but with this knowledge of the truth, it's worth giving up the life I had before. Way bigtime worth it!
