Dee,

Let's say Jesus asked you to get the wine for the last supper.  You went to
the wine seller on first street, his wine was good.  But he told you if you
would go to the wine seller on fifth street, the wine would be much better
and cost the same.  With a limited amount of time it certainly would be
easier to buy from the closest seller.  Would you make the extra effort to
go another four blocks to be able to give the Lord the best?
If given the opportunity would you strive to seek and do _everything and
anything_ that you could to please Jesus.  If there were even a possibility
that there was more that you could do for Him - would you?  Have you already
answered _this_ question for yourself?  Seeking to seek for more of him.
Isn't that what the essence of a love for God is all about?  Consider asking
_yourself_ these questions.

respectfully
In Jesus's Name
