"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36
This is a question, we should all ask ourselves. Many times we go after material things (money, cars, clothes, degrees, and houses etc.) to satisfy our own desire and pleasure. But, at the end of the day what real profit does these things have in relation to the winning (saving) of our soul? This is Jesus speaking to us! He wants us to consider how we are living our lives and for what reason. It is the heart of Jesus that we know Him and that we are known of Him.
"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise." Proverbs 11:30
So, let's not allow our souls to become so overwhelmed with the things of this life. Be free! Run into His presence! We are in this world, but not of this world. Lift up your heart and soul in praise to Him who has blessed you beyond what you deserve, but for His grace and mercy. Praise ye the Lord! If we are not ashamed of Jesus, He'll not be ashamed of us. Let's get closer to Jesus and He'll get closer to us!

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock" Matthew 7:21-24
