One day, my son and I headed to Subway. Four years old at the time, he stared excitedly at all the tasty options. We ordered toasted flatbread with cheese for him, a footlong sub for me, plus pop and chocolate chip cookies.
After we sat down, my son looked at everything on the table.
“Daddy, what do you love the best?”
“Hmm,” I said. “Everything here is so yummy I’d have a hard time choosing, but probably the cookies. How about you?”
“I love you the best,” he replied.
In that instant, all I ever wanted was to be right there with him, father and son, reveling in the simple, profound power of innocent love.
“I love you the best,” God says to everyone on this planet. And, yet, much of the world we know obsesses over worthless treats–houses, cars, vacations, degrees and titles–while paying little heed to God or to the poor, the helpless, the hopeless.
Even a small child knows it’s the relationships that count–not life’s chocolate chip cookies that at times seem so tempting.
