Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Una vez tuve una foto en mi oficina de un carruaje fúnebre que remolcaba a un tráiler con la capción "¿Quién dice que no lo puedes llevar contigo?" Muy cómico, pero muy equivocado. Si perdemos nuestra alma en la búsqueda de lo material, ¿Qué cosa de valor eterno hemos ganado? ¿Vale la pena perder la única cosa que realmente vale?
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus' question is a piercing challenge for us to evaluate our goals and look at what we pursue. It reminds me of a picture I once had in my office of a hearse pulling a U-Haul trailer with the caption, "Who says you can't take it with you?" While it was humorous, the caption was also wrong: DEAD wrong. And that was the point of the picture! Jesus wants us to ask ourselves what we have really gained if we lose our souls in pursuing things we can't take with us after we die. Is more stuff, fame, wealth, and power worth losing the only part of us that matters eternally? No, it is not!
Mi oración
Padre Amoroso, ayúdame a fijar mis ojos en lo que verdaderamente tiene valor, y utiliza las otras bendiciones en mi vida para traer gloria y bendecir a los demás. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Loving Father, please help me focus on what is truly valuable and eternally enduring. Awaken my heart to use my blessings and influence to bring you glory and lead others closer to Jesus. I want to carry these things into the next life. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
