What About My Soul?

Whenever you buy a plant or a pet, you get care and feeding instructions.  They both need enough water and enough food.  Neither can stand too much water nor too much food.  They both need attention.  Some even believe that talking to plants makes them grow better.  I know pets need attention.

Whenever you buy a household appliance, it comes with instructions on how to treat it properly so that it will last to its fullest potential.  You can even buy a service contract and have a professional care for it regularly.

Whenever you buy an automobile, it comes with servicing advice.  You need to change the oil and other fluids on a regular basis.  You need to rotate the tires properly.  You need to clean it.  You can also get an extended warranty that will cover things past the point of the regular warranty.

The things we use in this life all need to be cared for or they will fall apart due to neglect. If we want them to last and get our money’s worth out of them, we had better follow the advice of those who know what we need to do.

Each one of us has a soul, an eternal part of us.  How much effort and thought do you put into its maintainence?  You only get one.  It will last eternally.  But where?

• Remain true to God's Word - 2 Timothy 2:15
• Grow in love and unity - 1 Corinthians 13:1-7
• Find greater joy in praising God - Psalms 117:1-2

If we love one another as a family, and serve each other with the spirit of peace, there are no limits to what we can do for the Lord.

May God bless each of us in His service.
