Savor the richness
+++++++++++++++++++

Feel the terrain beneath your feet. Don’t just speed past it or fly over it without noticing. Hold the texture of life in your hands. Immerse yourself in the details.

There is more to being alive than watching images on a screen. There is more to experience than hearing someone tell you about it.

Know life first hand. Make your own adventure, ask your own questions, and follow your own intuitions.

Stop hiding behind the excuses. There is so very much to touch, to do, to create, and to experience.

It is down on the ground, in the details and the intimacies that you will find life’s exquisite flavor. Wrap yourself around the experience, and savor the richness of every morsel.

Ralph Marston

Quick Thought:

“If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.” James 1:26 (NKJ)

Mark 10:35-45

“And James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came up to Him (to Jesus), saying to Him, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.” And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And they said to Him, “Grant that we may sit in Your glory, one on Your right, and one on Your left.”

“But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking for. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?” And they said to Him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I drink you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized. But to sit on My right or on My left, this is not Mine to give; but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”

“And hearing this, the ten began to feel indignant with James and John. And calling them to Himself, Jesus said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them. But it is not so among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant; and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all.”

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Mark 10:35-45 (NAS)

John 5:41-47

“I (Jesus) do not receive glory from men; but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.”

“I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another shall come in his own name, you will receive him. How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God?”

“Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope.”

“For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote of Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?” John 5:41- 47 (NAS)
