When will I get the message?

It's not about my possessions, my skills, or my performance. It's about my relationship to a Person.

"As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"

"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." (Luke 10:38-42)

I will always fall back into works and worry until I learn to sit at the feet of Christ. Being sick of my self-focused life is not enough; he must show me a better way.
