The Economy of God

Have you ever noticed one of the funny things about God is that everything in His economy is backwards compared to ours? Below are some random thoughts that occurred to me today as I was having some alone time with God.

To get something you desire, you must release it.

To be the greatest, you must become the least.

To realize the dream, you must lay it down.

To work for Him, you must rest in Him.

To be strong, you must be made weak.

To be full, you must be emptied.

To be first, you must be last.

To receive, you must give.

To lead, you must serve.

To stand, you must fall.

To gain, you must lose.

To go, you must wait.

To live, you must die.

Boy, does that put some things in perspective or what?

It's almost like I can hear Yoda saying, "You must un-learn what you have learned."
