True Worth
"It is worth nothing for a person to have the whole world, if
he loses his soul {in hell}. A person could never pay enough
to buy back his soul."
-- Mark 8:36-37 (ERV)
:
So much of life gets lost in the pursuit of things we think are
important. We trade our time for that which does not matter. We trade
our energy for gains never realized. We trade our hopes for what winds
up as wrecked dreams. Our very lives, our souls, find their resource in
the Lord. He must remain the center, the goal, and the purpose of our
lives or we lose ourselves in our pursuit of things that don't really
matter.
