"Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Luke 12:34)
Is the Lord Jesus Christ your most precious treasure in the whole world? If so, count yourself among "normal" Christians, rather than among "nominal" Christians!
My old dictionary gives this definition as the meaning of "nominal":
Existing in name only, not real or actual; hence so small, slight, as to be hardly worth the name."
With that as a definition, those who know they are Christians "in name only" should never make the pretense of being "normal" Christians. Thankfully those who are "normal" are constantly being drawn to praise and worship, charmed by the moral beauty which is found only in Jesus.
I cannot understand how anyone can profess to be a follower and a disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ and not be overwhelmed by His attributes. Those divine attributes faithfully attest that He is indeed Lord of all, completely worthy of our worship and praise!
Heavenly Father, You are the Creator of heaven and earth. You are holy and righteous in all Your ways. You are my Treasure today and every day. Amen
