"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" God is not interested in my wealth or my stuff, my degrees or my acomplishments, only my heart:
All That You Desire
Once my life was just a desert--endless, empty, dry despair
Hopeless, barren, lonesome, and no one seemed to care,
Then You came and walked me through, knew exactly what to do
Because Your feet had walked there, too.
All that You desire is my heart in Your Hand;
All that You require is my life in Your plan.
Each day You lift me higher, You have set my soul on fire.
I will praise You, Holy Lamb.
Once my life was full of mountains, there was no way across,
Only paths I couldn't follow; I knew that I was lost.
Then You reached Your hand to me and taught me how to fly.
Now with You I'm flying free!
All that You desire is my heart in Your Hand;
All that You require is my life in Your plan.
Each day You lift me higher, You have set my soul on fire.
I will praise You, Holy Lamb.
I will praise You, Holy Lamb.

8:36 For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
