“The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again.” (John‬ ‭10:17‬) Jesus understood that the best way to get a life was to give a life. There are very few people who follow his pattern. We spend a lot of money and time trying to figure out how to last longer: diet, exercise, investing. All good things, but they miss the bigger picture. We can take care of ourselves at the same time we are looking out for the needs of others—taking care of others actually takes care of us. The emotional improvements that come from doing good deeds are hard to measure but science has proven that mental health directly impacts physical health. And Jesus proves that giving sacrificially has an outsized return: surrendering your earthly life to God gets you an eternal life. If you really want to win, be willing to lose.
