Today I was reminded that we are not to love the things of this world.
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1 John 2:15
So does that mean I should not love my family? My home? Or does it mean that I am to be in Love with Christ and that everything else is filtered through that love? I think the answer comes in the next part of the passage.
For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world.
1 John 2:16
It is all about defining what the world is.. isn't it? It is defining our motivations and where our heart is.
Today I want to crave God and His goodness. My goal is to love my husband and children well. I want to laugh loud, live abundantly and work as unto the Lord.
How do you plan to live in a way that is out of this world?

Serving my neighbor by taking her to work and picking her up tonight. Praying for her, and for our language barrier, that she will be saved.
She is Tamoko, my japanese neighbor who is sick with bone cancer.
