Knowing the correct password—saying 'Master, Master,' for instance— isn't going to get you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedience—doing what my Father wills. I can see it now—at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, 'Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking.' And do you know what I am going to say? 'You missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. You don't impress me one bit. You're out of here Matthew 7:22-23 (MSG)
Check out the picture. No seriously look at it....there are so many nuggets of info here it's ridiculous! Everyone is in position and dressed up in their respected roles. It's the big game (cause every game is) and millions are watching. Now look at the ump (the judge) he is in the position to make the best call. The catcher is in position to catch whatever it is that is being delivered from the pitcher and the batter a slugger believes he's gonna knock this outta the park. Now look a little closer....do you see that the ball is actually in the catcher's mitt? Look at how far away the mitt and the ball are from the batter. Look at the batter as he realizes not only did he miss it, but HE REALLY MISSED IT...he whiffed as we call it.
I'm sure fans of his were like WHAT THEY HECK ARE YOU DOING? HOW COULD YOU????? Well while we are analyzing this.....MILLIONS OF ANGELS and a few folks are watching you get suited up. TODAY is the BIG GAME...it's called life. And although you make look the part, and maybe even doing some of the stuff (like the so called believers in the scriptural excerpt above) but let me ask you.....WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING & WHY ARE YOU DOING IT? Are you trying to impress your boss today? Are you really doing these things to make yourself look good, or position yourself to do.....or be...... Or are you doing it simply because you LOVE GOD, and LOVE PEOPLE!
LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO LIVE IT WRONG.....there's a reason why after every blog, every post....I tag it with LGLP. Cause if you not REALLY LOVING GOD & LOVING PEOPLE it's all a wash! You lived a straight up sham of a life. LOVING PEOPLE comes down to coming down, getting off or you high horse, and being the servant in all venues. When you go out to eat, I know they are to serve you, but how can you serve them. I know when you go to church....sign up for a ministry FOR REAL. I know when you go to work......stop complaining about what THEY DON'T DO, and you just start serving the needs of others. LOVING GOD is simple.....remember who made it all possible....and out of that gratitude return it to Him, by LOVING THOSE that aren't being LOVED so that they may come to love HIM too. FOCUS....this is the BIG GAME, called LIFE....KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL (the WHOLE PURPOSE) you are up, at the plate...........LGLP
