It seems like everyone is super busy, super tired, and very ineffective.  Why is this?  I can't stand the feeling of having the sun go down, I'm dog tired, and I can't think of one reason why I should be as tired as I am.  It's a terrible feeling to run hard all day, only to feel like you're 2 two steps behind where you started.

So, to avoid this feeling, I'm trying to ask myself a simple question every day: What's the point?  If when I gave my heart to Christ, I gave Him my whole life, shouldn't He get everything?  Every decision, every thought, every relationship, every activity should be for Him.  Even as I'm writing this, I'm thinking, "That's going to be very easy...ha ha."  With so many things going on at the same time in our lives, it is a challenge, but we need to remember something very important.

When Jesus died to redeem us, he didn't do it so that we could have a good prayer life or a good family life.  He saved my whole life, and He deals with my life as a whole.  All of the compartments we have created with are just that---our creation.  God doesn't want us living in the fantasy that there is any part of our life that He can't touch and transform.  If we can just be more intentional in the choices we make, we can bring John 10:10 to life, and live a truly abundant life.

So, ask yourself sometime during the next day or so, What's the Point?
