	Description:		I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 30th of May, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Gospel of Luke 9:25: "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?" Oh, my dear friend, we have to stop working so hard. We have to stop trying to please God. The Lord loves us as we are. We don't have to do anything to earn His love. We just have to love Him, that's all. So many of us are trying to earn our way to Heaven. You can't earn your way to Heaven, it is for gratis, it is free. You don't have to pay for it, you just have to receive it. The Lord just wants you and I for fellowship. He created us so that He could speak with us, love us, and we love Him. That's all. The other night, Jill and I were sitting, listening to the most beautiful song. It's called "Broken Ladders". The song was written by Samuel and Becca Mizell. I think that's how you pronounce their name. I want to read this to you. It is the most beautiful song: You never asked me to be king Build my tower up to the sky So why do I try You never asked me to be rich And buy the things that gold can buy So why do I try All You ever wanted was my heart My heart, my simple heart To You that's all that really matters Why do I feel I have to reach Believe I have to rise When You never said I had to climb These broken ladders You never asked me to be complete By myself, find all I need So why do I try Oh, You never asked me to stand alone Face the struggles on my own So why do I try When all You ever wanted was my heart My heart, my simple heart To you that's all that really matters Why do I feel I have to reach Believe I have to rise When You never said I had to climb These broken ladders Cause all they do is take my eyes off You And make me forget the truth All You ever wanted was my heart My heart, my simple heart To You that's all that really matters Why do I feel I have to reach Believe I have to rise When You never said I had to climb Oh You never said I had to climb These broken ladders Oh these broken ladders What beautiful words! Today, stop trying to do things for God and just love Him. That's all He wants.God bless you and goodbye.
