Hi Children of God (Love)
Sorry for being so late with my post today. Had a difficult time reading today's passage as my England very bad. Not to worry kids my post will be short simple and sweet as not to bore you all.
Well for today's passage, which I believe most of you have already read is about us placing the lesser things above what is truely important in our lives.
I truly believe that this passage is very significant in most of our lives as we do place things at times before God. The more common of these things as stated in the passage are money and tasks.
Have a great example for this part which just happened to me a second ago. While writting the 3rd paragraph of this my housemate came to me telling me there was no hot water and yea it's true feeling the problem first hand. For me placing the task of resolving that problem became a distraction to my much more important task of writting this. (Real Sorry) But I then did help my housemate placing importance in my relationship with him. So it might be a good thing.
The part that I really like in the passage is when it says:
'God does not demand of me that I accomplish great things. He does demand of me that I strive for excellence in my relationships.'
This really shows how much God values our relationship with Him. Like in our cell vision, we have that privilege to directly speak to our God. And I assure you He will definitely answer you. For me, I've gotten many of my answers by randomly opening the bible to a passage. (Do try it)
To end this I would like you all to read this short story which some of you might already know. It is about a mayo jar and two cups of coffee. It really does show an interesting story which sums up todays passage. Enjoys...
