Be authentic

This is a semi-easy one to write today!  This touches my heart quite a bit because it means hard choices have to be made.  What is it that makes your life worthwhile?  Is it the corporate ladder?  Is it the pursuit of money?  Or, is it your family and doing what inspires you?  Patrick Mead shared an excellent point on his blog last week.  What we cannot move is our god.  We put things in order of importance and subscribe to them totally.  I was told a goodly while back by a great brother that a solid definition of lust is "whatever gets between you and God."  Lust of money, lust of job, lust of women/men.  Whatever gets between you and taking care of the blessings (i.e. your family) God has given you, is just not worth it.  John 14:1 "Don't let your hearts be troubled.  Trust in God, trust also in me."  Many things come up to distract or divide us.  What gets in your way of seeing what is most important?  Where is your time and energy spent the most?  If it is in pursuit of things that won't last, maybe it's time to rethink some strategies!  May God bless!
