My Obsession

Obsession –noun 1. the domination of one's thoughts or feelings by a persistent idea, image, desire, etc.

What are we obsessed about?? Is it God? Too often I feel the answer is no. TO be obsessed with something means the domination of ones thoughts or feelings...whether its girls, school, cycling I always place other stuff where God should be...Number one in everything in my life should be God. He needs to be the center of everything...if he isn't the center of school..my priorities aren't right...if he isn't the center of cycling I am not riding for the right reasons..everything needs to revolve around Christ. Christ died so that we may live..but how are we using the time we have been given? are we just going through the motions and waiting to go to heaven? Matthew 10:39 "Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." Are we willing to give up our life...our time..our energy for Him..As each day passes I realize more and more that each time I give up what I fear to lose the most I find/experience the most precious beautiful satisfying joyful amazing thing I could hope to find...Jesus. Now since God has given his kingdom and blessed us beyond belief how should we conduct ourselves..how can we honor him? I feel one way we can show gratitude is by obeying God with fear and humility. Psalm 103:11 says "For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him" When we fear God we learn to obey him...and we see in John 14:21 "Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him." Its so cool to see how when we humble ourselves and become nothing that God truly makes his love complete in us

Matthew 6:21 "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

The problem with soley giving every ounce of your soul, strength, heart is we have an enemy that wants you to do anything that doesn;t have to do with God..distraction is an amazing way that we get side-tracked. Its when you don't want to read your bible you should, its when you feel to busy to pray you need to get on your knees and lift your heart to God, its when you afraid that you need to share your faith etc.. Have you ever seen a couple thats crazy in love...that can't stop spending time together..and think about each other when they're apart..this is how I want to be with God...Jesus I want to wake up to your glorious mercy, I want to dance in your joy, I want to breath in your life, I want to speak your Love, I want to hear your sweet voice...I want my life to be a love song for you. I want you to make you proud...I want to fall in love with you..

Isn't it funny how time and time again we try to fill our life with things that only satisfy for a moment when God satisfies us for eternity. Nothing, whether its a girlfriend, a sport, a hobbie, a job should come close to your obsession with God. The best part is when you look for God or spend time with him or give your life to him you find exactly what you wanted/needed. He never disappoints...He always is there..he will always answer you when you call.

Once again are we obsessed with God?? do we long for waking up in the morning just so we can speak to God? do we live our lives for him or do we just put on a mask, blend in, and look like the world? do we pray and read his word? do we live like they are dying or do we live like just we were dying? See 1/1 people die...if I were to die tonight I know I would go to heaven, but what about everyone else. No one, whether it is your aunt, dad, cousin, friend is guaranteed tommorrow..the one thing you can't do in heaven is witness to non-believers. See if we are really obsessed about God and are willing to give up everything to serve him how come we are so afraid to share our Hope...the world's hope in Jesus..He came to save everyone. See we have been saved by grace, we can't save, that's the Holy Spirit's job but it needs a body to work through..we just have to let God use us.. as scary as witnessing might be its just telling your story. Not mine, not your friend's but your own story that only you can tell...I love it!! All we have to do is tell the story of our life written by God. We should overjoyed to tell people about the greatest gift they could ever recieve..

So when life is hard..be obsessed with God, when life doesn't make sense spend time with God..he makes sense..When you are busy..be obsessed with God, when you are sad be obsessed with God, When you are filled with joy..be obsessed with God


BE OBSESSED WITH GOD....BECAUSE HE IS OBSESSED WITH YOU.
