"God did not ever tell us that he wanted to be first place, number one in our heart, in our life, in our relationship. He does not want to be number one.
He wants to be compared to no other. He wants our whole hearts. He wants us to cast down every idol every hope. Nothing else is even in the equation. No competition. For there is no one else like him."
I have been struggling with this deeply. The mindset of putting God first and everything will follow. The thought that if I continue my quiet time and spend time with the Lord then the Lord will bless me and save me.
It is finished, Christ has risen and this is what we believe. We are saved and the gospel is the proclamation of this. Its a message to rejoice.
It's so hard sometimes to understand practically what it means to be a follower of Christ, but slowly, God is showing me.
He is showing that nothing else besides him even matters. My running, my schooling, my family...Nothing matters. For these areas are calls from him to be light in these areas and worship him through these areas.
Thats what matters...
