Quote: “He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” – Jim Elliot

True wisdom (read: truly living) is found in giving up temporary gains for eternal rewards in Christ. What are you holding onto that you cannot keep, which is keeping you from pursuing what you can never lose?
