MISSING THE POINT

"But the Lord said to her, 'My dear

Martha, you are worried and upset

over all these details!  There is only

on thing worth being concerned

about.  Mary has discovered it, and

it will not be taken away from her."

(Luke 10:41 NLT)

Martha wanted to serve Jesus.

Mary wanted to be with Jesus.

Martha was like us.  She missed the point.

We get frantic trying to do a lot of "stuff"

for Jesus.  But Jesus just wants us to be with

him.

You know the 1st command as well as I.

"You must love the LORD your God

with all your heart, all your soul, and

all your mind."

(Matthew 22:37 NLT)

Love wants to serve the other.

But first and most important

Love wants to be with the other.

How much time am I spending loving Jesus?
