LOVE NOT THE WORLD



 Do Not Love the World  ~~ I John 2:15-17

"Do not love the world or anything in the world.  If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For everything in the world ~ the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does ~ come not from the Father, but from the world.  The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever."

Dear Lord, we are pilgrims and sojourners in this world, moving towards the eternal future you have planned for us.  Yet, we are easily distracted from our destination, by all the activity that swirls around us ~ the sights and sounds, the pride and passion, the lusts and longings that spring from human nature.  Give us greater vision Lord!  Grant us a glimpse of eternity and keep our eyes fixed on You and on the everlasting life You have prepared for us.  We love You.  Amen

Amen
