What’s really important…

Ever find yourself fretting about some little detail or worrying about something you should have done or might have done. I know I do. Jon over at Stuff Christian Like had a profoiund statement in his post today (recall that today is serious Wednesday)…

We don’t serve a confusing God who makes us climb mountaintops or tunnel through the crust of the earth to figure out scraps of what matters most. He comes right out with it. In Matthew 22Open Link in New Window, a Pharisee asks Jesus what the greatest commandment is. Here is what Jesus says:

“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

When feeling overwhelmed just take a minute and think about this: The Creator of the universe loves you so much that He died to pay the price you never can, in order to provide for a personal relationship with Him. Wow!

About heavnstrl

I came to Christ in May of 2003 - one of those rare "later in life" conversions. I'm still learning God's plan for me as a husband, a father, and an obedient follower. I now understand that there is no being "on the fence". This blog helps me keep my focus on Christ as Lord of my life.
