dlcady,

To lose yourself to God or to give yourself to God both mean the same thing in my mind.

What a wonderful truth!

along with my favorite quote "you don't have room for God when you are full of yourself" hassidic proverb this words reveal the truth of finding and embracing God.
love to all

Jewish in origin or not, I would have to classify that as "Universal Wisdom" (as it does not get any "Truer" -- at least word-wise -- than that)
