What Life is About

In the end life is about meeting God, knowing God and loving Him. Many people have paused life at simply meeting God but there is so much more. Some have gone on to know Him in a more intimate way, and I believe that it is impossible to know Jesus without loving Him. We are called to Love God. Jesus said that we are to Love God with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength and our neighbor as ourselves. I find very often that in my life I live life thinking about things and living for things that aren't in this list. I think about the next election, or the superbowl, or warmer weather or where Amy, the boys and I are going to go on vacation this year. Some of those things are important but if I forget the most important in loving God and loving people then in the end what have I gained? Life isn't that complicated - to Love God and Love people is a pretty simple statement that any one can understand but we all struggle with. It may be an easy statement to understand but it is also a hard statement to do. Pray for me as I Love God and Love People and I will pray for you as you do the same.
