Matthew 8 - I’ll go

Lord, speak. Your servant is listening.

The teacher of the law told Jesus he’d go with Jesus wherever Jesus went. Jesus’s answer grabbed me.  

No bed; no home. With me; just me.

Am I travelling light? Am I keeping my stuff in perspective – that there can be no place in my heart for it. Stuff isn’t bad when my heart doesn’t hold on to it. I can enjoy things but I am to remember that it like an ice cream cone on a hot summer day. I’ll enjoy it but know without a adoubt that it won’t last long. I can save it; I can’t store it; I can’t hold onto it too tightly.

What did I hear Jesus say to me?  Jack. Walk with me. We’ll walk through this world hand in hand. And keep your other hand open – not with your things  - so that we can invite someone else to walk with us.

Jack
