Salty?

Our family visited a salt mine 600 feet below the city of Hutchinson, Kansas.
Illumined behind us in this photo is a 6,000 pound salt rock. The pillar in
the far back is unhewn salt supporting the tunnels we explored.
Amazing!

Beloved,
My passion recently is the message that there is NOTHING more important than Jesus! NOTHING. There is no relationship, no job opportunity, no spouse, no romance, no child, no project, no emergency, no financial crisis, no ministry, no dream or possession that we can permit to take priority or precedence over Jesus!

If we allow any other thing to take first place, (or when we allow it, since it happens to all of us so easily) we compromise that one-on-one relationship with our Savior. We are tempted to look at circumstances with eyes of doubt instead of eyes of faith and trust. We forget why we are here, and what purpose we have been called to in Christ. We get our eyes on the things of earth instead of the eternal.

He has called us to "love the Lord our God, with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind and with all our strength." (Mark 12:30) That means Jesus first. If we pursue Him, He will be found by us. (Jer 29:13) It is so beautiful to live our lives hidden in Christ, surrendered to Him and giving Him first place. He has promised that if we seek Him and His kingdom first, all necessary things will be added to us. I want NOTHING to get ahead of Jesus!

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee:
because he has trusted in Thee." (Is 26:3)

Passionately serving Christ,
Kathy
