My children have a dad who loves them, and always will.

Recognizing Value

Just look at it—we’re called children of God! That’s who we really are…when Christ is openly revealed, we’ll see him—and in seeing him, become like him. All of us who look forward to his Coming stay ready, with the glistening purity of Jesus’ life as a model for our own. — 1st John 3:1-3 (The Message Bible)

I learned something about recognizing value when I gave away company stock. I had received it as a youth because I was family and had no idea how much it was worth until I gave it away for free.

Afterwards, the realization of what I lost hit me but it was too late. Something similar can happen in a church or to those in a Christian home who grow up with eternal opportunity freely given by Jesus’ sacrifice.

There is a future for those who remain faithful to Christ. We need to keep that future in focus to stay pure and faithful.

Of Secondary Importance

I’m asking God for one thing,
     only one thing:
To live with him in his house
     my whole life long.
I’ll contemplate his beauty;
     I’ll study at his feet.
— Psalm 27:4 The Message


I want nothing more from you than to enjoy your company. There will be time for you to labor in My vineyard but unless it’s done from love it won’t be sustainable.

I don’t need your acts of service (I, actually, have plenty who can serve).

I need, or rather, desire your heart.

Enjoy Me and seek to sit, like Mary, at My feet.

The service part comes and goes. It’s you I want.
