The most important thing
So, what is of the most importance to you? Where do your priorities lie? Is it to hold true to the calling or vision that God has given you - to be a person of integrity? Is it to be a success in stewarding earthly treasure, so that the Good Lord can entrust you with spiritual treasures?
Our perspective is not necessaritly the same as God's - it is far too easy for us to be distracted by the temporal - missing out on the big picture because we focus on just one small detail, blowing its importance out of proportion.
In 1Corinthians ch.13 - we're introduced to the most excellent way. We are reminded that spiritual gifts, social justice and a successful ministry do not occur in a vacuum. Without love, they are worthless, discordant, futile.
Are these things imporant? Only if their frame of reference is founded on a genuine love for God and for everything that He loves.
The criteria are high - but He doesn't leave us there on our own.
