"My heart is full"...great line from a great movie. It can definitely be overwhelming to just sit still for a minute and think about why we're actually here. I mean really...just sit for a couple of minutes in silence and think about why we're here. So many daily tasks become seemingly meaningless...realistically necessary, maybe, but dull and empty in comparison.
How can we be so busy...so busy we neglect the significant..."your them"....whatever that is in your life. Where is your treasure?...of course the bible says we..."store up treasure in heaven", but here, on Earth, where/what is your treasure? It can be so easy to get caught up in the ebb and flow of this life, a life that is focused on helping people, helping others, that we sometimes make the mistake of overlooking the others that are closest to us.
As I write, at this very moment, my treasure is asleep in bed...all three of them. My beautiful family...the people I share my life with. The people that know me the best. The precious treasure that God has entrusted me with in this life.
Why are we here? For what reason?...We're here for people, for others. Just make sure, in this journey, you never overlook the others that are closest to you. It can be easy and maybe even "feel" more rewarding to minister to those that are considered second degree, the indirect.... but priority should always fall to the first degree in your life.
I pray that I never lose focus of that. I love my life. I love my family (first and second degree)...My heart is full.
