Don’t lose your soul

AMED 45.07

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | Don’t lose your soul

Your soul is a precious well of incredible resources and possibilities, but it can be poisoned. My mentor once taught me that our soul is the combination of our mind and emotions.

At the time I didn’t fully understand what he was trying to teach us, but after 35 years, I got it. 

My dad would often quote Luke 9:25: “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?” (NKJV)  I didn’t understand what he was trying to teach me then, but I do now.

Your soul is you: your personality, thoughts, memories, life experiences, strengths and weaknesses. Your soul makes you eternally significant and different. God loves differences. 

Have you ever studied insects? There are so many varieties. And they all drive me crazy. Have you ever studied the animal kingdom? There are a bazillion species. Okay, maybe not a bazillion, but there are a lot. And yes, bazillion is a real word. 

Last year, I went to Madagascar to train leaders and see if I could help the nation in some small or significant way. On my day off, I visited a lemur zoo. Yes, that’s correct. A whole zoo just for the 26 species of lemurs. Why wasn’t God satisfied with just one species? Why did He create 26 different species? Because He loves differences!

Your soul is different. It’s unique and eternal. So please don’t lose it, sell it, forfeit it or neglect it. It’s precious. Esau had a brilliant future; it was called the birthright. In my mind, it represented his soul with all its unique potential and the blessing of his father. But the Bible says, “See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son.” (Hebrews 12:16, NIV)

Please take care of your soul because if you don’t, nobody else will.

You’re a miracle.
