DAY TWENTY-SIX – Thursday, March 31, 2022
Matthew 16:24-26
I read these verses over a few times hoping they would speak to me. Give up all my worldly goods and follow Jesus? Have you ever considered what that would be like? Mother Theresa is the closest example that comes to mind.
Why do we have so much stuff anyway? If you have been doing any purging lately, you’ll know what I mean!
Of course, let’s be real, there are material comforts we require for our very existence…food, shelter to mention a couple. Possessions come and go in our lives like when we decide our cell phone is obsolete or our car is causing us problems and hurry out to search for a replacement.
Jesus is telling us God’s love is different, is so much more. There is no ‘updated model’! It doesn’t break down or need to be replaced. God’s love is constant, pure, eternal…never changing. We just need to open our hearts, trust and welcome his love in. It will feed our souls and its reward is eternal life.
