Everything
… whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it.
Matthew 16: 25b NAS
Today my son heads back to college. Like much of life, this has an edge to it, a sort of bitter sweetness. It is a good thing but hard to experience. I sent this note with my son:
Dear Drew,
In this morning’s devotion, I read again the old familiar saying ‘Only one life, ‘twill soon be past. Only what’s done for Christ will last.’
Simple, powerful words. Good words for the beginning of a new year, and yes, good words for the beginning of a new term.
My prayers are with you everyday—that you will seek God everyday, that you will grow strong in every sense, and yet, depend on Him for everything and that in everything, your life will shine.
Love,
Dad
Father, guide my son in everyway. Amen.
