Gnats and Camels

It is 5:09 and I have been awake sense 3:00 praying for people I love and problems I can’t solve, a marriage I can’t fix, a grandson who is not attending church services, church members who want things done their way--people who have lost their focus on what is most important.  Why can’t people just love Jesus and do what is right?  Jesus spoke of people who, “strain at gnats and swallow camels,”--people who are focused on the wrong things overlooking the important issues and controlled by the little stuff.   Could this be why there are so many unhappy people?  Who wouldn’t be miserable with a belly full of camels?  Camel bellyache--a common spiritual sickness with a simple cure.  “This is my command that you love one another.”  Jesus
