I love this from Missionary Jim Elliot was was slain. he was a missionary in Ecuador: “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”
From 2 Tim. 4: 6-8……….My life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness.
