The Important Things

In Mark 12:30-31, we're told the most important things are loving God and loving people.

But, we seem to spend a lot more time caught up in other things... eg. loving ourselves/being selfish, entertaining ourselves, procrastinating, stressing, etc etc..

We gotta keep the main thing the main thing.

We cannot let our own worrying and self-concern become the main thing. 

And conversely, there's nothing wrong with treating ourselves well and having fun, or affording ourselves leisure and chillax time, but we cannot let our own enjoyment or comfort become the main thing.


In fact, I've found that the real fun and true joy comes from choosing to please, and therefore love, God first. After all, it's what we were created to do.. :)
