Hi, Friend!

A self‑reflective life is worth living. When we stop paying attention to our priorities, we don’t simply remain neutral — we drift. And when humans drift, they rarely drift toward what is solid, true, or life‑giving. Instead, we tend to slide toward what is shallow, distracting, or spiritually lifeless.

Jesus warned us that “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). What we prioritize reveals what we treasure, and what we treasure shapes the direction of our lives. The danger comes when our priorities become misaligned — when we focus on what is peripheral rather than what is eternal.

Life is full of false substitutes that promise fulfillment but quietly pull us away from Jesus Christ. And even when we feel like we’ve finally “arrived,” that sense of arrival can itself be a sign that we’ve drifted. A life of faith is not about reaching a perfect state; it’s about continually returning to what matters most.
