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 life that knows where it's going, that knows where the source of strength is, and the life that stays FREE of clutter and happenstance and 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 bieng 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. When we try to get life out of dead things, the result is only weariness and dissatisfaction.

by Max Lucado's Grace for the moment devotion


My prayer today is that I don't clutter my schedule and my being in pursuit for the things of this world, but only for the things of God!

Be Blessed and be a blessing!

Loving the Lord



I just want to take a moment and say how grateful I am for worship! It is incredible what happens when you pretend like no one is looking. Someone took this picture of my husband and I just going at it and not thinking about who is watching. My prayer today is that I never lose this moment and that my heart pounds for the Lord like it is in this picture.



Have a blessed week!
