Cannot repay the love debt I owe, I surrender to Thee."
We spend much of our lives creating a thick layer of "achievements." We climb the career ladder, push our kids to excel, move to a better neighborhood, pursue another degree, all in the hope that we will somehow become more popular, wealthy, powerful, or influential.
Like a thunderstorm in spring our conquests and achievements cover us, deposited one tiny raindrop at a time until we are totally covered. For many of us, self- esteem and self-worth come from what we have accomplished or how much we can buy or who we know.
Yet one day we will awaken to a new reality, an endless day in which all our values will be turned upside down. All that we have done, said, created, bought, and built will be brushed away, melted like snow under the gaze of our eternal Father. Deep within each one of us He will seek the one thing, the only thing He truly cares about: The imprint of the cross, the mark of His Son.
Nothing else matters to Him. And on that Day of Judgement, nothing else will matter to you. Do you possess the one thing that really matters? Do your know who Jesus is?
You can.....Just ask!
