Order in My Universe

Certainly, our relationship with Him is the ultimate "sun"
around which everything else is just a "planet." We can't
make any choice that will adversely affect this anchor
relationship. There are other non-negotiables God wants you
to make the center of your choices: what's best for your
marriage, your children, sticking to His calling, His
life-mission for you, uncompromised integrity, your
responsibility to show the people around you what Jesus is
like, and your responsibility to spread the Jesus message
to people who will die without it.

See, life's choices are a lot less confusing when you know
your non-negotiables. Then you decide based on everything
else having to revolve around those non-negotiables.
Actually, you have to be sure you know God's non-negotiables
as you re-clarify them with Him each new day. There are just
too many noble detours that you just can't afford to take.
Your personal universe is in order when the sun is in the
center, and then everything else is where it's supposed to be
- planets taking their place around a sun that never, never
moves.
