You Alone..

If Jesus appeared to you right now, if you turned around and He was standing behind you, what would you ask Him for?    
 
If we answer with anything except, "You alone", we still do not grasp the message of St. Paul, "For me to live is Christ, to die is gain!". Paul had fallen madly in love with Jesus, the Son of God. Paul had learned detachment, even from the good things in his past life of dedication to Judaism. He said it was "dung compared to knowing Jesus his Lord.". If "You alone" is not our first thought, we are still attached to things we should glare at with disdain.  He said the road is narrow that leads to life.. Lord, help us choose the narrow road today, the road of prayer, devotion, humility, honesty, faith, hope, and love. Help us to turn to You this morning and say, "I want You alone my Beloved!"
