Bigger

Dear Reader, I need to be bigger than myself. As a follower of the Carpenter, I must look beyond what is perceived as best for me, and choose what is best for Jesus. Sometimes these choices will look the same, others, my actions will be radically against my perceived self-interest. Astute readers will note my phrasing. For ultimately, as a follower of Christ, his best choice IS my best choice, I just may need to surrender to that. In a world which tells us, have it your way. Do your own thing. Play as you want. A message which sets itself in opposition to that rhetoric can be challenging to emulate. Yet try we must. Seeing every choice we make in light of the Kingdom of God. Time, finances, relationships, resources both physical and mental. These and many other parts of our life need to be considered in light of the wider context of a Christian walk.

Masterpiece

There are, dear reader, many copies of an original masterpiece found throughout the world. However their owners are aware of this copy. It is the forgery which causes concern in life. No one wants to find that they have a forgery of a painting instead of the original. The revelation only brings with it pain and misery. The owner is unlikely to thank you for revealing this loss to them. The same is true for human traits. There are many forgeries of love passing themselves off as the original, however that original is only owned by the creator himself and his followers who he bestows it upon, though his Holy Spirit. All others are poor copies and we would do well to recognise them as such. Copies are fine, for they remind us an original exists and we must seek it. Forgeries are not as they lead us to complacency. Have your dear reader sought the original?
