[sometimes] To have everything is loss.

and

[sometimes] To have nothing is gain.

and

[most of the time] It hurts.

Give me words, and I would speak them

Give me notes, and I would sing them

Give me thoughts, and I would dream them

Give me hopes, and I would hope them

Give me love, and I would live.

Take these away, and You were. Are. Will be.

Phil 3:7-11

But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.

For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith—

that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

ESV
