A Dream I'm Trying to Remember

This is a post that is not about my devotional reading today. Instead, I am thinking of Lahaina. As I have said before, this is one of my favorite places on earth, and it is effectively ... gone. And yes, it will be rebuilt, but it will never, never, ever come back like it was. The Lahaina I love is truly lost forever. However, the people remain.

May that serve as a reminder to me that all of my earthly life is of no worth, except for the people and souls I encounter. The entire world will fade away, but the eternal love the Lord will always exist, and those with faith in Jesus will endure with him in the real paradise. May I make Lahaina my reminder that the only thing of value is people, and the only thing important is the decision everyone makes about Jesus.

Amen.
