How easily are you distracted? Very easily is my answer!!! Distractions happen to everyone …..I start out to do one thing, get distracted and then can’t remember what I was going to do in the first place! There is one thing we can’t be distracted from and that is our purpose in life. Jesus lived life with purpose. He came to earth, did what He was meant to do, and completed his job. He even said it is finished when he job was accomplished. We should learn to be more like him. We should be good starters, and good finishers. We should be ones who know what we are supposed to do, and then get it done. My kids love it when I give him a list….then he knows exactly what he has to do before he gets to go have fun. The list helps him stay on track, and he gets the satisfaction of checking things off as he gets them done. When our son was younger, if he did the whole list really well, without complaining, we have a prize basket he gets to pick from. So there is a reward at the end of the job. Jesus did all the work for us, and then he gave us the reward! How cool is that! When he said it was finished on the cross, he had completed his task, and we got the reward of relationship with God, an abundant life here on earth, and a home in heaven when we die…..how awesome!!! He stayed the course, and wasn’t distracted from what he came to do….. all because of love. Can we be like him? I believe you can!
