The world and it's desires pass away...

"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world- the craving of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boastings of what he has and does- comes not from the Father but from the world.
The world and it's desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever."
1 John 2:15-17

"world" is defined as things that distract from God, things that we desire instead of God; wealth, popularity, affluence, new stuff...

SO if I want to do something today that matters, that counts, that will make a difference I will seek to do the will of God.

I love going to Bible studies because I need to be reminded every day that it's about God and not about me. Because left on my own, it's my nature to ignore God and turn away from him. I need constant reminders of His love and His work in my life and His work in the people around me. If I don't have reminders I forget that I need him so desperately, that I am so lost, broken and depraved without his light in my life.


"This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you; God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from sin."
1 John1:5-7
