OK, achievement hunter. Tell me about your big ideas, dreams, and plans.
Or are you an achievement hunter with lots of awards and trophies?
Maybe you can speak three languages, program computers, and engineer bridges. Or maybe you make sure people know you for your:
- philosophical meanderings,
- cataclysmic discoveries,
- geographical conquests,
- sharp ear for nuance,
- acute awareness of your surroundings,
- world-changing inventions,
- modern machinery,
- miracle medicines
I hope you don’t brag about diplomacy, diversity, and democracy.
Those won’t impress me any more than your:
- physical prowess,
- endurance abilities,
- driven personality, or
- ability to prophesy, speak in tongues, or heal people with your hands
In fact, you could tell me all these things, and more, describe you, and that you have the world on a string. And I could still tell you about a more excellent way.
Yeah, even if you have everything in the whole universe at your disposal, you could still have nothing. Because, if you don’t have love, your things will end up as nothing. An achievement hunter with no achievements.
Will you give your love today
In the little things you do?
Will you think of words to say
That will help your neighbor, too?
And will you think before you speak
Or say things you might regret?
Will you think up ways to care…
Ways you haven’t thought up yet?
Will you try to keep your love
In a secret hideaway?
Jesus gives you ALL of His…
So, go give your love today. © 2015 TF
