Not everything that counts can be counted. Not everything that can be counted counts.
– Dr. Charles Garfield.
The most meaningful aspects of the human experience cannot be measured with metrics or statistics. Examples include deep emotions like love and trust, or abstract traits like integrity, curiosity, and creativity.
Do most human beings really understand what counts? Here’s some of what God’s Word has to say about that topic:
Micah 6:8
He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Do you know what counts? Give it some thought.
