From My Heart: Some people think of life as a pie. They've got a career slice, a family slice, a friends slice, a money slice, a dreams and ambitions slice, and a Jesus slice. Jesus is saying to us today, "I don't want to be just a slice of your life. I don't want to be just a small part of your life. I want to be at the center of your life. I want to be your whole life." If Jesus is not the Lord of all your life, then He is not the Lord at all in your life, because it is all or nothing. -- DBM
