Prioritize your life, let Christ be your #1. When Jesus is your #1 everything falls into place. Our relationship with Jesus must be growing each and every day. If we are staying still in our relationship with Christ we’re really moving backwards. When you’re truly surrendered to Jesus you want to be after His own heart, continually learning more about Him. Loving all that Jesus loves and letting God work in your life so that everything you say, do, and think are acceptable to Jesus.
“May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14)
God is not far from each of us. We will be as close to God as we choose to be. How much do you want Christ? How solid and firm do you want your relationship with Christ to be? If you truly want to be all in for Jesus than you read His Word which shows you how to live, how to love, how to trust in God for He is faithful. So that you come to the point, the realization from God that no matter what happens in your life, no matter how tough life seems, you know that God is with you, and He makes all things work together for your good. No need to worry, fret, be anxious, stress, because Jesus has got you, He sees you, He hears you, He cares for you, and He loves you.
“God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.” (Acts 17:27)
“Come near to God and he will come near to you…” (James 4:8)
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord…” (Jeremiah 29:11-14)
“And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.” (1 Chronicles 28:9)
It is our pursuit for God, our desire to completely know God and understand His truths through His Word. “After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’” (Acts 13:22). My only desire is to be after Gods own heart, and live by faith, completely surrendered to whatever plans the Lord has for me. This is not my life to live but it is for Christ to live through me. “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20).
The two greatest commandments are to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Luke 10:27)
Think about what it would look like if every person who believed in Jesus would search for Him, seek such an understanding and devotion for Him that all there life was consumed in following Christ, in loving like Christ, and being like Christ. How the world would be shaken for the glory of God, how the enemy of our souls who steals, kills, and destroys would no longer be able to because Gods children would battle earnestly and prevail for the salvation of every person. How the pain, depression, hurt, sickness, and evil intentions would be done away with by the power of the name of Jesus. My desire for anyone reading this blog is to live 100% for Jesus, and let that translate into positively and lovingly affecting every person around you with Christ’s love. Jesus says it best, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” ( John 13:35).
Brothers and sisters in Christ, don’t neglect Jesus, make Him your #1, because He made everyone of you His number one as he lovingly and willingly died on the cross for all our sins, and rose from the dead three days later conquering death for you! Seek Him first thing when you wake up, talk to Him throughout the day, share the hope you have in Christ with your family, friends, acquaintances, and strangers. Let Him completely change your life for the good. And spend time with Jesus before you go to bed. Live to bring Him praise and glory.
Love you all, Jesus loves you!!! 🙂
