And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:25-27 (ESV) Those of us who are continually looking for ways to impress God with our understanding of life and death should stop such foolish “efforts.” Being right with God is not about perfection. It is about His mercy and grace. Being cared for has little to do with our ability, and everything to do with His faithfulness. Somehow, we want to make all things about us, when all things are about God. When we work towards such an end, we become frustrated, and eventually enter the realm of the hopeless. Life is not about me. It is about God. This is not a theory. It is a reality, and if I want to enjoy life, I need to live in the context of reality. |
