For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? — Mark 8:36

We try to get a lot of different things. Only one thing is really important. If you go to your final address without the Lord, it doesn’t matter if you have a lot of money, a big house, and a lot of prestige. Even worse is waking up in the middle of your busy life to find that you are in a barren land where Christ doesn’t live and there is no life. Let’s not waste our lives, souls, and meaning on things that won’t last.

Prayer

Father, keep my priorities in order, my life pure, and my heart open to your will rather than letting my own self-interest blind me. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
