... I forget to put God first. and I hate that. I utterly hate that part of me. I wish and pray , with every fiber of my being, that one day I will be able to put Him first in every part of my life. I don't want to have to remember to put Him first, I just want to automatically do it. I want it to be an unconscious action. But perhaps, I do need that reminder? Perhaps, I need to take a minute before I make decisions and ask myself if this is what I should be doing. Or, I guess what I need to be asking myself is if that is what God would want me to do..
... I forget to trust Him. And for as much as I love Him, I don't think I trust Him nearly as much as I should. I suppose it all comes down to my trust issues...
... I forget to love people like He loves them. I forget that people are human and make mistakes. I forget that I have no idea what people have gone through. I forget that love unites us. I forget that we show people Jesus when we love them.
And though I consistently forget these things, and many more, He has never once forgotten me.
My, what a wonderful God we serve.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteThis morning, my Sabbath School lesson was about trusting God and on my way home, I found myself stressing/agonizing about something and realized that I was most certainly not practicing what I was "preaching"...funny how something so little as trusting in God is SO hard sometimes
