And live a life of comfort here.
But You call us to seek a different place
Not here on Earth, but Heavenward...
To weave a life of love and faith
To live with open hands
Freely giving, freely loving
Free of worry and concern...
So as a blemished mirror--I strive
To reflect Your perfect grace.
Wow.... Luke 12. How do we, in a country of so many material comforts, strive to live a life full of Heaven? I have no idea what kind of possessions they might have enjoyed in 33AD. No idea what Jesus asked people to let go of to follow Him--but I'm sure that I have more.
So how, as a wife and mother do I follow Christ's words? His calling? Do I abandon my family? Of course not--it is not living a life of complete unattachment. It is living a life of complete attachment to God, and then people--and a life of UNattachment to things.
Father--I pray that I can see with Your heart, Your eyes, and not with my own. Help me to serve You and love You more each day--to love You with all my heart, soul and strength. Help me to serve and love my husband and daughter... and to love my neighbor as myself. Help me again to see with Your eyes, the need that exists, and within my means fill it with Your love.
