Does God’s admonition ever end? When Jesus says, “whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it...” (Matt 11:39) Is there ever an expiration date?
I could say that I've done that, I believe. Turning my back on what could have been my original calling, I have put God and my family before me. Really. Did I just say that?
It hasn’t been all bad, I suppose. I built a state career of 20 years, raised a son and watched as he went off to college, helped pay off a mortgage, and given lots of time and money to our church.
But is it ever enough? At times, my heart is filled with love for the Lord. It is truly ironic that when I put him first, life is more manageable. But how about my interests and passions? Or am I missing God's plan for me?
I gather the latter.....
