"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works."
Matthew 16:26-27
A good reminder to look forward to the results of this life and what is really going to matter in the end rather than just at short term payoffs. It's our choice, but it is a very good question to consider... what are we willing to trade for our souls? Even the best life we can imagine pales in comparison to the worth of a soul. The whole world pales in comparison. Let's work with God to learn that worth and to get the help that we need to find our way in the confusion, rather than devaluing ourselves and our potential and selling our birthright to what amounts to a mess of pottage.
Let's go out there and do good, in partnership with God, learning from him as we go the value of others and ourselves.
