Meaning
For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17; NLT).
“If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you,” says the LORD (Jeremiah 29:13-14; NLT).
“ ‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ ” (Luke 10:27; NLT).
Lord,
Luxuries and treats
Can’t lift our state of mind
For long;
Shopping and consumer goods
Can’t make our lives
Worthwhile;
For meaning comes
Through seeking you
Wholeheartedly –
And loving
Other people
As ourselves.
