Today started off as a very rough day, from the minute I woke up it seemed that things were in complete chaos. Things did not get better as I had hoped they would and I started to fall into a worldly state of mind. Then, once I got home from school everything changed...
A little background information..Several months ago God was really beginning to reveal things to me and lay things on my heart. I felt like I hadn't heard from Him in so long or maybe I just hadn't been listening. When I finally heard Him, it was a complete, slap in the face if you will. I felt like all the things that I loved had been taken from me, but I felt like I remained in a state where I was thankful and knew that if they were gone that if was for a reason and that God still had a plan for my life. God however knew better and showed me and it brought me to a place of true brokenness. For the first time in as long as I can remember I didn't feel strong, I didn't feel ok and I didn't feel like things were going to look up any time soon.
Back to the present..Today an amazing door was opened for me and it is only because of Gods continued goodness in my life. This opportunity could change my entire lifestyle, but I've already been given something that has done that once before. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior, and no matter what opportunity comes along there will never ever again be something as amazing or life changing as that was. My dilemma is that if I take this opportunity I need to still be able to keep God number one in everything that I do. I need to realize that the only reason I am capable of doing this is because of what God is doing in my life and if I don't continue to put my life in his hands this too will be gone. I need to stop saying that I love God and act like I love God. I need to quit judging others and look inside my own heart and see the things that God has shown me time and time again.
It is ok for me to love the things in my life, but things will never look up if I continue to love the things in my life more than I love my Savior.
So when God says to me, you have always loved those things more than me, where do I go from there?
