thanks max.

My little devotional by Max Lucado really spoke to me this morning. I thought I'd type it up and share it with those who read my little blog!

Please note that the following words are not my own, but they are the words of Max Lucado. I am not certain how Blogger wants me to cite my sources (APA, MLA, ESNLA...) but I figure a little paragraph explaining that I didn't have anything to do with the following words in quotes would do :] Please don't call the plagarism police on me.

A Life Free of Clutter
"Your heart will be where your treasure is." Matthew 6:21

"The most powerful life is the most simple life. The most powerful life is the one that knows where it is going, that knows where the source of its strength is, and the life that stays free of clutter and happenstance in hurriedness. Being busy is not a sin. Jesus was busy. Paul was busy. Peter was busy. Nothing of significance is achieved without effort and hard work and weariness. Being busy, in and of itself, is not a sin. But being busy in an endless pursuit of things that leave us empty and hollow and broken inside - that cannot be pleasing to God. One source of man's weariness is the pursuit of things that can never satisfy; but which one of us has not been caught up in that pursuit at some time in our life? Our passions, possessions, and pride - these are all dead things, the result is only weariness and dissatisfaction. "
