I am easily distracted. Easily preoccupied with garbage. God has been showing me the things of this world in light of Jesus. Sometimes it sucks. As we get closer to the cross we see how selfish we really are. As we become more preoccupied, as we fall more in love with Jesus, we will become broken for those around us and be unable to hold our tongues in their presence.
It is His heart that moves and compels us towards others. Our obedience comes as we fall more in love with Jesus. God sustains us through Jesus Christ.
