Prize of Life

There are few, I suppose, who are 100% satisfied with their lives - wouldn't change anything. Baruch, the Prophet Jeremiah's scribe, was feeling poorly about his life when God said to him, "Do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them ... I will give your life to you as a prize wherever you go." (Jeremiah 45:5).  Is there anything more we really desire than life itself?  Think about it, without a life, all else is useless!  Whether we believe it or embrace it, the Truth is this: all things are subject to the One Who gives it - life and things of life.  When we surrender (give up, abandon) our own ideas and speculations [about our lives], however, we just might be utterly surprised at the life we have: God's prize to us - life. ​
