That which animates us is a clue to where our passions lie. The subject we talk about disclose who we are and what we value. The things that excite our emotions and give us reasons to live the day is a revelation of our core. These are the things toward which we live, to which we look forward, to which we give time, energy and money. Dennis Kinlaw said, “Jesus is not the enemy of our common joys.” But His place as Lord must not be rivaled by any of them.
When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.” John 21:15 (NRSV)
