Heaven, At Any Price

Good Morning!! We place a value on just about everything,...and if what we're willing to pay matches what someone else is willing to sell for,...then we buy it. There are even rare times when we will pay more,...but only if we are sure it's worth it. The rich young ruler, wanted the Kingdom of Heaven,...that is until he saw the price. "Give up your wealth, come follow Me," Jesus said,...but in sorrow he turned away.

The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, "Who then can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."—Mark 10:26,27 (NIV)

So many today, want to be a citizen of God’s kingdom,...but don't want to give eternal life first place, over the present "good life" the world offers. We want to get to Heaven, we just another way to get there,...a way that allows us to not give up what we value more.

Make no mistake,...God wants, and expects, to be #1 in our hearts.

Holy Spirit, help us choose to be Christians wherever we work, play and rest. Let us see God at the head of all things in our lives. Amen.

"Once we've tasted being alive, how can we so easily go back to being dead?"
