Matthew 6:7,12-14

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls in front of pigs, or they may trample them and then turn on you and tear you to pieces.

Holy things to the Holy folks!!! What does our Lord mean by these words? What prompted them. Friends, part of your spiritual journey is knowing when you are spinning your wheels with some folk. You are worth too much to spend your precious time on people who have already made up their minds about you or frankly people who refuse to see anything new. The Pharisees and scribes were so set in their ways that no matter what Jesus and the disciples did, there was no winning. So our Lord says to the disciples…. Move on!! Do not throw what is holy to people who don’t know its value.

The holiest thing you have really is your time and energy. This is a tough one for people pleasers like myself. I wish I did not care what others think! I wish I did not have a need to be accepted and understood! But we are who we are. The calling here is to show or know the value of yourself and your energy. You are the prize my friend, yes you are!!
