CHOOSING THE ONE THING THAT MATTERS!=

(THE WORDS=OF OUR GOD)!

 

IN TODAY’S GOSPEL=we have some INTERESTING BYPLAY=Between 2 sisters=Martha and Mary=

ABOUT a dinner=Going on in their House=WHERE Jesus is=THE GUEST OF HONOR!=Martha

Is complaining to Jesus=That she IS=Doing all the work=ALL the preparations=While Mary is=

TAKING in EVERY WORD=That is coming out=OF JESUS’ mouth=What we all=SHOULD BE

DOING!==But Jesus is NOT BUYING=Matha’s Complaint!

“Martha-Martha’=The Lord answered=’You are WORRIED=and upset=About many things=But

Few things are Needed=--------Or indeed ONLY ONE=Mary has chosen THE BETTER PART=and it

Will NOT be=Taken away from her’”                                                                                                         Luke 10:41-42

 

My Brothers and Sisters=What has YOU ANXIOUS?=What has you WORRIED?=Are you CHOOSING

The BETTER PART=Of life?=THE WORDS of Jesus=and the Holy FATHER GOD!=For your life=

Choosing The Better part of life=THE ONE THING THAT MATTERS!=The Teachings and WORDS=Of

THE GOD OF LOVE!

My friends=We cannot REMOVE negative attitudes=Self-absorbed Thoughts=In our life=But we can FOCUS On the One thing that MATTERS=We can KEEP the WORDS of OUR LORD=In our HEARTS=and NOT

On the peripheral JUNK=The world throws at us=Choosing the Better Part=I mean THE BEST PART=

Of life=OUR BLESSINGS=Life itself and OUR FAMILY and FRIENDS

“I will make them=and the Places=surrounding my hill=A BLESSING=I will send down showers=In Season=There will be showers OF BLESSINGS”                                                                                Ezekiel 34:26

“BLESSINGS crown the head=Of the Righteous=But violence overwhelms= the mouth

Of the wicked”                                                                                                                                                    Proverbs 10:6

 

My sisters and brothers=DO Keep on=CHOOSING THE BETTER PART=for your life=Like Mary=And

Not be AS CONCERNED=About the things on=YOUR to do list=Doing things are IMPORTANT=That

Is for sure=But JESUS=Told us himself=What the BETTER PART IS=The WORDS of the Father and the SON=are THE ONE THING=That matters!=What comes OUT=Of the mouth of THE LORD!

“FIX these words of mine=In your hearts and minds=Tie them as symbols on=Your hands=and

Bind them on your foreheads”                                                                                                     Deuteronomy 11:18        

“How sweet=ARE YOUR WORDS=to my taste=Sweeter than honey=To my mouth”     Psalm 119:103

“Heaven and earth=will pass away=BUT MY WORDS=Will never pass away”               Matthew 24:35

Choosing the Better Part=THE ONE THING THAT MATTERS=for our LIFE=Just like Mary did=

The WORDS of Jesus and=THE HOLY FATHER GOD!

 

Mary’s sister Martha=KNEW that Jesus Loved her=She knows=He CARES for her Well-Being=as

HE CARES=for each and EVERYONE of us=She is/and We should BE CONFIDENT of JESUS’ LOVE=

For us=But do we Love Jesus=REALLY LOVE Jesus=Like we should?==ARE we TAKING HIS WORDS=

Into our hearts?==The very WORDS=That He left us with!

“For the mouth speaks=WHAT THE HEART=is Full of”                                                               Luke 6:45

 

My dear Brothers and SISTERS=CHOOSE the ONE THING THAT MATTERS!=for your life=In

This world=And it IS=THE WORDS and Teachings of Jesus Christ and HIS FATHER=Choose that=

And it will MAKE=all the Difference=for and IN YOUR LIFE!
