What Really Matters

"What Really Matters (9:23-26)
If you knew that you only had 24 hours left to live, the things that really matters to you would naturally surface. Your degrees, abilities, and your wealth would seem to diminish in significance when you are faced with imminent death. These verses reveal what truly matters in light of eternity - a knowledge of and a relationship with the Lord. The only thing that would matter is whether or not you understand and know the One True God (v. 24). Acts of service are great. Exercising kindness, justice, and righteousness are amazing. However, God is more concerned with the state of your heart than with your outward actions (vv. 25-26)."

This is straight up copy of Living Life QT.
Spoke to me in a lot of different ways.
God's not so concerned about me serving, helping others, or even fasting.
I think it's time to return, but really have that heart to yearn for God.

"but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the LORD."
Jeremiah 9: 24

I boast, and I only boast, because I know the LORD!
