I am typing this blog on my lunch break at work. For those who do not know I work at a sales center in Miami. In this world of business everyone is a number, a bunch of calculations that ranks your worth to the company. In this world, answers are found in numbers and relationships are valued less and less.
Yet I can't help but think of Jesus' teachings and goals to be in the heart of people. In this world of sales, $$ is the only god being chased. The need to have money is never quenched and is like "chasing the wind".
Jesus walked this earth not as a man looking for a sale, or as civilian chasing the "secure" life. Jesus lived radically! He spent His time in worship with God the Father, spreading the good news of salvation, and raising up disciples.
I know that the World Race is going to change the way I do everything, but I cannot wait to leave behind the idea that the true worth of someone is a man-made calculation and live for God-created relationships.
Take the world, but give me Jesus!
Mark 8:36 What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?
