This is the saving your life part of, "who ever saves their life will lose it".

Even people who stand before Jesus in Heaven, ask to return to the Earth, because they "want to do something for Jesus".

I am sure it makes Jesus sad. Because it is nothing more than a man serving his pride.

And, so, it is the same, whether we are talking about improving your body, or your habits, or how you deal with situations. I am surrounded by an ocean of retards, who spend their life, working hard, trying, and always failing to achieve these things through effort and hard work.

They return to Jesus for a moment, to ask for forgiveness, or to ask for wisdom, or to ask Jesus to help them try harder or some non-sense.

And, immediately depart to return to their failing efforts.

And, if a man succeeds with 1 thing, he will exhort everyone else to follow his example, though he continues to fail in 99 other things.
