“This is what you are to say to him: ‘This is what the Lord says: “What I have built I am about to demolish, and what I have planted I am about to uproot ​— ​the whole land! But as for you, do you pursue great things for yourself? Stop pursuing! For I am about to bring disaster on all humanity” ​— ​this is the Lord’s declaration ​— ​“but I will grant you your life like the spoils of war wherever you go.” ’ ” -- Jeremiah 45:4-5 (CSB)

If we seek to control or gain our life, we'll lose it. But through pursuing eternal things, we can live as God intended.
