God Is Everything!
Putting God First!
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who on the finding one Pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.”
Matthew 13: 45-46
The Special Pearl!
We all have special things in our lives. We have reasons why they are special. Maybe these things are special because they represent who were are or are most comfortable with? Maybe we just simply feel good about being in the presence of this person, place, or thing. But whatever it is, it’s presence in our lives gives us meaning.
What is that Special Pearl?
What does this Special Pearl do for us?
Our Lord Jesus explains that for those who are with Him, the Kingdom of Heaven must be that Special Pearl! If our Special Pearl is the Heavenly Kingdom, that means we are in company with the Lord!
What does this mean for us if the Kingdom of Heaven is our Special Pearl?
We have many important things in our lives, we have our families, our places of worship, our friends, our sports, and our places of work. These things can all bring us meaning, but if we want what Jesus can give us, the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), He must be Our Special Pearl. Nothing may come before our love of Jesus!
Our love of Jesus must inform the totality of our lives!
Have a blessed day!
Pax.
