Today I went green.

This seems to be green week and I have decided to join in. Now in the interest in full disclosure, I must admit that this green thought wasn't my idea. No, it wasn't some idea Al Gore came up with on the same day he invented the Internet either; this idea came from a friend of mine who has given me great sanity. Today I used a source of energy that will never run low. This source has no greenhouse emissions, no carbon footprint and will not run out in the year 2049 leaving us on empty. This source of power is something so unique that it will never change and is completely renewable. What is this power that is so dependant? God. What??? People who really know God, know His secret. Our source of power is renewed every day and will never run out. People who don't know this secret gain their sense of power, value from things that do change. You see, people who don't understand God often wake up each morning and take stock of their lives to see where their value in the world is each day. Am I pretty, do I have enough friend, are my children smart enough, popular enough, is my house big enough, does my husband have the right job? All of these questions lead to comparison to determine one's value. Think about it, what better way to stack the comparison in one's favor than to put someone else down? Unfortunately, these things change. God does not change. People who don't know this secret usually evaluate their worth daily based on things that are not renewable- things that get used up. Where is your power, your value coming from today? Are you taking strength from His love that will never run out or are you evaluating your power level from something that will be destroyed? Where moth and rust does not corrupt...lay up your treasures in heaven, Matthew 6.
