Today, the Lord revealed Himself to me through a book, and I want to share it with you...
I've been struggling with my priorities for a very long time...
stuff and things always seem to get in the way.... I tend to put things before God... music, relationships, time, money, activities, friends... and this is not how I wanted to live my life...
I knew all along that to make things better, to make my LIFE better, I needed to get this straightened out and put God at the top of my list, top of the pyramid so to speak... then everything else would fall into place...
but oh my gosh, that is so hard to do... and I got discouraged because I couldn't do it!
But then today as I finished this book... the answer was as clear as the sun.
If I put God at the top, what does that really mean and how much is enough? How much time do I give Him before I can go on about the rest of my day, the part that interests me so much??
He doesn't just want a piece of me and a piece of my life...
even if I WAS able, which I am not, to give God the biggest piece of my life, that is not what HE wants...
He wants all of me and every part of my day...
God doesn't want to be first among a list of values; He wants to be at the center of everything. When He lives in me, then together we can live through everything that happens to me...
Rather than a pyramid, the Lord wants to be the center of a mobile, where everything in my life- my firends, family, occupation, thoughts, activities- is connected to Him...
I like that so much better!
