the most important thing

i was reminded again today of the profound quote:

"the most important thing about us, is what we think of, when we think of god."

as i continue to engage different people in conversations about faith, jesus and religion this seems to be at the heart of all disagreement. the other day, i saw a christian wearing a shirt with these disturbing words:

"don't make me come down there - god"

what does this person think of when they think of god? then i was reminded by someone that, god did come down. and when he came down, he came seeking and saving the lost. he came as a servant of all. he came to suffer and die for his creation, and to begin to set the world right.

i hope i misinterpreted the shirt. god is angry - no doubt with the mess we have made of things. god is going to put a stop to it, i believe this. but while it is still called today, let us work with the same mindset of christ.
