Wow, I am really late with my posts this month.
"Whom Do You Love First?" is the title of this post, but I actually want you to answer this question. Answer it. Write it down.
My answer or at least what I hope my true answer is, would be Jesus. I hope that would be your answer as well since Jesus is our greatest treasure. :)
Often times, I do have to catch myself to see where my attentions are and those thoughts that no one else knows about except me and God. I unfortunately spend hours upon hours on Pinterest.com and I do not like that about myself. Not that Pinterest is bad, just that my use of it is not desirable. The same could be said of many things, watching too much TV, decorating the house, or working on the yard. If I could have my true heart's desire, it would be to sit and ponder on God, His goodness, His love, His holiness, and everything about Him. Of course, I do have to eat, sleep, work, etc. so where is the balance?
1 Corinthians 10:31 ESV "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." See this verse in full context here: BibleGateway.com - 1 Corinthians 10 - ESV
I love God, and want to obey Him, in the simplest of things, writing a blog, organizing paperwork, baking, how I treat my spouse, the list goes on but at the center, the true meaning of why I do what I do and act the way I act and the One I am thinking of when I do these things... I want it to be focused on the one I love, Jesus.
The second question I want you to answer is, "Are you actions showing that you love Jesus first?"
If they are, awesome, praise God! If they aren't or they just need an adjustment to get back on track, this is what this post is here for, a way to check and then encouragement to set your sights on Jesus. Below are some things to help. Please share anything you have to add to this post! Blessings!
