the core

Where's the core of your life? Is it your family, your job, your girlfriend/boyfriend, husband/wife, or is it just yourself. I've been asking the same question about myself lately. And I've concluded that it's become my everyday struggles. Seems weird I know. I let my thinking of my personal/ monetary lacking become the center of my life. Yes it's true. I don't believe that I have that much by today's standards, one might argue that I have more than a lot of people have in this world and that i should be more grateful  . But then again I know personally what it's like to sleep on the streets at night and to go days without eating as a child. And to top it of my biological mom was a prostitute and a drug addict. You could say that I've seen it all. I'm also the son of a King and I should only want to have more and the best of it. But  how does one gauge what's needed and what's not.. Possessions doesn't necessarily make the individual but the heart does. The heart is the core to us all. And it's exactly what Jesus wants of us, it's to have our hearts. The heart is a well of love and adoration for life and the things that God has in store for us. It also contains a passion for the things of this world. The things that people hold dear the most ,for the most part hold to their hearts. On the flip side the heart can be a means of hatred,evil and shallowness. Many people's hearts become hard and bitter for God because of our lack of understanding for the things that he's doing in our lives. Or just cold to new ideas and means of reaching the world for Jesus.  Remember that when God prunes/cuts the branch it's so that it blossoms two fold. How can God work through you if your heart is cold and hardened to him and the new things that he wants to do through new mediums? It's time to open the eyes of your heart to the new things that God is doing in today's world. Who are we to question what God is doing? Who are we to question the new church in town, the new person at the church, the different song on the radio, the new "NEW".... Isn't what Jesus did on the cross enough for us to say that everyone is good enough for him no matter what they bring to the table? What was at the core of his heart when at the cross? "US"  then why shouldn't we have him at the core of our hearts now? What's your core?
