Jesus…more than a box of chocolates!

I make every attempt to get as much done in a day as I can. I try to schedule tasks, according to priority, on my calendar so that they are pretty evenly spread out through the week. If I’m not careful, however, I can place so many things in a particular day that nothing spontaneous can happen. That’s not always a good thing. It’s kind of like a balloon. There’s a limit on how much air you can physically fit in there. When the maximum volume is reached, one of two things must happen. You can tie the balloon off, or continue to force air into it…causing it to pop! The same is true of our capacity to love.

1 John 2:15 reads…

“Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.”

God did not create us with the capacity to love Him and the things of the world. It’s o.k. to appreciate the blessings and nice things around us, but when we ‘love’ something/someone…they are given a special place of honor and priority in our lives. May Jesus be the love of your life this Valentine’s Day. And may He be honored above the things He has given us!
