“‘Martha, Martha,’ the Lord answered, ‘you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better (for her), and it will not be taken away from her.’”
Luke 10:41-42
What a beautiful passage and great reminder that we all have unique purposes, and there is no need for competition. Everyone together managing the different parts of a clock can keep time right more than just twice a day.
Who wants to hear , “Be strong and be you (but in the capacity of my own comfort).”
Are you as useful in a pair of jeans serving food to hungry people as a CEO in a suit who employs 100 of the people you fed? Of course! Both of you are a source of strength in different capacities! And then there’s the person who just takes names. They don’t just take names, they make sure people are who they say they are before they can sign the paper to get into a place.
Everyone has a purpose.
One day Mary and Martha had a conflict between themselves about which one of them served Yeshua best when he visited them. Yeshua was like….
“‘Martha, Martha,’ the Lord answered, ‘you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better (for her), and it will not be taken away from her.’”
Luke 10:41-42
The tension in this competitive type world- the misunderstanding of another’s calling to do and be happens in personal and professional relationships anytime people become uneasy when others make change.
Martha opened her home to Yeshua, and Mary sat at his feet and opened her heart. Period. The vulnerability….the courage ….to do what the heart desires….to activate personal growth and purpose.
Living a life of spirituality isn’t about being better than others. Spiritually is about rising above ones own shortcomings to enhance personal purpose that at some point serves to the betterment of the whole….whether just one person, place or thing or a whole population.
Be great.🤞🏽
