As you listen to the Scripture hear the difference between head and heart when it is read. When we listen to the word of God we can either try to hear a sound in our head or have a sense of meaning in our heart. One is listening for the sound, the other to the silence. This year s theme at Emmanuel is, what are you looking for, perfection or the priceless. When we look for perfection we look for what isn't and for the priceless, what is.
Perfection is in the head and is seen as facts.
Priceless comes form the heart and is experienced. Try seeing the difference it makes when you look for what is perfect or what is priceless in your own life, in your relationships, marriage, family, friends, or in yours or others work. Perfection can never last and stems from judgment. The priceless eternal is an epiphany that comes from God. John's Gospel tells us that Jesus was in the world and the world knew Him not.
