Commitment to Christ does not take us away from life - it intensifies it. Every experience, every encounter, every moment of service takes on a deeper meaning when we live it from this surrender. Joy multiplies, pain is shared, and even the everyday becomes extraordinary. It is not an easy path, but it is one full of life in its fullest sense. And although many do not understand our choice, we discover every day that in this apparent "loss" is our greatest gain.
