Paul stated he’d rather have Jesus more than anything, counting all his other worldly goods as ‘rubbish.’ WOW!
Whether it be honor student, perfect attendance, club awards, etc., we sometimes do tend to get carried away with notoriety for our children, and oftentimes even with titles for ourselves. Awards and titles have their place in our lives, but we must keep the main thing the main thing. None of this would be possible if it had not been for what Jesus did for us, and secondly and of even more import; none of this means anything if Jesus is not our personal Savior and Lord. Besides, when we get to heaven God is not going to check our credentials for awards or titles, He’s going to check our hearts and bodies for battle scars (the marks of Jesus).
Until Monday…
