Karlyn: LLJ week day 2

S - Luke 14:11, 13-14

For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

Instead invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind.  Then at the resurrection of the righteous, God will reward you for inviting those who could not repay you.

O - 1.  I nor the rich and important benefit eternally from me seeking them out and wanting to be
       noticed and honored by them

      2.  I and those who are more needy than me do benefit eternally from me seeking them out serving
      them and loving them

A - It's very appealing to me to feel important and to rub shoulders with people who are important.  However, my goal in life is to do what makes an eternal investment because earthly investments don't matter beyond here.  A question to ask myself when tempted to be noticed by important folks, "Will this investment/relationship benefit them positively in eternity?"

P - God it feels good to be noticed and to look and feel important, but it feels even better to help someone in need and to be a part of them growing closer to you.  Help me to seek those relationships out more than wanting to be important.  Thank you that I'm important to you.
