Futility.
When Christ was asked which of the ten commandments is the greatest, he did not hesitate to reply. "Love God," He said, then "love people." How terribly often I do forget this beautiful command- Love. Love God, then through that, love those around me. Love those who've hurt me. Love those that I don't necessarily like. It doesn't matter how I feel about them, just love them. A choice, not a feeling. All too frequently, I find myself so wrapped up in myself and my wants and my beliefs that the farthest thing from my mind is the thoughts and wants of those right next to me. How devastating! How pitiful! What an empty life to live! Constantly pouring into myself and never into those around me! "Futility of futilities, all is futility." NO! Instead I will choose to "Fear God and keep His commandments!"
