Construction

"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I tell you?" (Luke 6:46)
Love your enemies.  Seek first the Kingdom of God.  Give to the poor.  Throw out all you have, take up your cross, and follow Jesus.  The list can go on!
Jesus is the only one with the 20/20 vision.  He is the only one with the sober eyes versus our own, drunk with our minutia.  He is the fountain of all that is good.  He is love.
The only way we can keep Jesus is by doing what He tells us.  Imagine the parable of the two men: one who built his house on a stone foundation; one, on a sand foundation.  Not only do we need the foundation.  We have to build up the house! Even with the Chinese and their skyscrapers built in six months, building takes time.  How about we build our house on the stone foundation? How about we give others the open permission to build on that same foundation with us? How about we take each stone and brick and dry wall sheet and sheet metal and lumber and mortar to build up the Kingdom of God?
