Fishing

What is really important to you? What makes you feel important? How much money is enough for you? How much success is enough? Where does your recognition end? Are we as a people only concerned with what is important to other people? Can we remember that Jesus' teaching had little to do with any of those things. Jesus learned how to be great by being small here on earth. He had many followers but he was not impressed with the fame and fortune that went with it. I think we are fishing. Trying to find that balance that allows us to keep our minds and hearts on Jesus and also balance our interaction with the world to clothe and feed and provide for our daily needs. We do this every day, wondering if we have balanced it well enough. Did the scales tip too far over to the world this time? Are we totally involved with Jesus that we forget to help those right in front of us? Harden not our hearts Lord. Help us to love and forgive and give from our hearts to each other. Keep us in love. If you do nothing else, keep us in love with each other. I thank you for that Lord because we have very little else to hold on to at this stage of the relationship. Be blessed tonight and be a blessing to someone. I love you.
