36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Mark 8:36
Have you ever thought about the word "whole"? When something is whole, it is together, complete and full. If you had to look at everything in the world, it is quite astronomical to think of how many things are in this world, but it is full and some things are unachievable in reaching. However, many people try and chase everything that is part of this world, and somewhere along the way they can get lost in all the things that make this world whole. If you look at each one of us, we are not whole, and have a lot to learn to become whole and won't be until we reach our Father-in-Heaven. God uses these opportunities for us to move towards wholeness spiritually by avoiding getting caught up in our world. The world is here for us to enjoy, but when we chase things at the expense of our families and God, then there is no chance to be whole. Work each day to be complete and find the wholesomeness of the path of becoming whole.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
