friendly service reminder

after reading a few blogs, i've decided i don't really like long posts... i just don't have the patience or eye focus capabilities. so i'm going to try to keep mine brief and potent.

after reading luke chapter 12 in that subversive work called the bible, i picked up something worth noting. as we explore fully trusting in God, not worrying about possessions, storing up heavenly wealth, and being ready for his return, it is important to remember why. simple as it may seem, it's at times easy to forget. and the why is this: he loves us.

yeah, you've heard it before. but read through chapter 12 and look at how many times Jesus reassures his followers and affirms their importance in God's eyes...and his affection for them. why can we sell our stuff? cuz God loves us so much he will take care of our every need...so we can finally live a free life, a full life.

so as we travel this road, let us never take our eyes off Christ and his burning love and desire for us. pursuing any goal outside of devoted dependence on God's love is an utter waste...and beyond foolish.

killer. you really kept it potent, JP. sweet! if we do those things without love, we're 1 Cor 13 clanging wastes.

we love because he first loved us. 1 john.
