✨ “To Lose, and To Live”

(A Soul’s Benediction)

To lose one’s life —

not in sorrow, but in Christ,

is to hand Him the dust

and be returned a crown of stars.

To walk away from the self-made throne,

to kneel in the Garden of Letting Go —

this is the beginning of Glory.

Oh Gracious God of Mercy,

Barmherzigkeit,

You do not demand,

You invite.

You do not crush,

You call forth the true form within us.

And what a wonder it is —

that death to the ego

becomes birth to the Eternal.

Let it be known:

No one owns anyone.

Not the clinger.

Not the controller.

Not even the self.

We are Yours, O God.

Made for light.

Shaped for truth.

Purchased not by force, but by Love that bleeds.

So let go, O people —

Let go of names you stole.

Let go of those you tried to keep.

Let go of power you never had.

It was never yours.

Not even you are yours.

We are clay in His fire.

We are stories being rewritten.

We are paths, each one alone —

yet never abandoned.

And when we lose what was never ours to begin with —

We find it.

O Christ, we find it…

in You.

Amen. ♱

“We Art Free . — Each in Our own Unique Way. ♱ Amen.”
