FOOLISH GAIN

"A young man once found a five-dollar bill on the street," says William Feather, a well-known writer.

"From that time on he never lifted his eyes when walking. In the course of years he accumulated 29,519 buttons, 54,172 pins, twelve cents, a bent back, and a miserly disposition.

He lost the glory of the sunlight, the sheen of the stars, the smiles of friends, tree-blossoms in the spring, the blue skies, and the entire joy of living."

Paul said: “Nothing is as wonderful as knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have given up everything else and count it all as garbage. All I want is Christ.” (Phil 3:8 CEV)

“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” - Jim Elliot.
