Love (The Fruit of the Spirit in You)

Love                                                                                   Day 27

He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
John 12:25

What is truly important to you? Many of us are focused on achieving goals simply to keep up with others or to say what we have accomplished. Some are obsessed with attaining more money and possessions, so that they (and others) can look and see all they have done. Others want more free time to only do things that make them happy, no matter the impact. We may even feel pressured to change our opinions about following God’s Word because we find it important not to be considered religious relics, living in modern times.

Ultimately, our principles and how we use our time, talents, and money, will reveal what is truly important in our lives. What will our receipts, schedules, and associations say about what we deem to be significant? Just as in a criminal investigation, the evidence will leave a trail to the truth.

The evidence surrounding Christ shows that He left a trail of blood and sweat as He carried the cross on His way to be crucified. In love, He gave His life that we all may have eternal life and forgiveness. We must decide, for whom and for what we are living. When we take an account, we may discover that we are forsaking our eternal lives only to glorify our earthly lives. Let us not love our lives so much that we forsake our life Creator.
