Recently I realized that I am only living to please one person, I am only here for one purpose and that is to serve my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I knew that before but just within the past few days God has opened my eyes to that reality and I am striving to keep God first in my life. It seems like lately I have gotten off track and lost my focus. I want God to be my focus, He needs to be my number one in every area of life. I realize now that if I keep Him as my focus that everything else is going to fall right into place: school, work, friendships, relationships, finances, family, everything in my life. Most people that know me know that I am constantly talking about meeting that "special someone" and finding the right one, and I have let worrying about that consume my every thought and in the meantime God has dropped way down on my list of priorities and I have lost my focus. I forget about the most important thing of all. I spend so much time worrying, complaining and being negative that my focus has been shifted. I realize now that I need to put God first. My number 1 focus every minute of every day needs to be on Him and how I can please Him. I want God to consume my thoughts. I want to talk about all the good He has done for me instead of dwelling on the things that haven't gone the way I wanted them to. I also realize that worrying does nothing for me, but make the situation worse. I know that there is a reason for everything. And I know that my struggle with keeping God first was to teach me that I need to keep my focus on Him. I now realize that that "special someone" isn't going to come my way until I can learn to keep my focus on what is most important. These past few days I have been struggling with some things and although those things are still there and I am reminded of them often, I am going to keep my eyes on Jesus. With God as my focus everything will work out according to His plan. If you took the time to read this, Thank You! If it encouraged you, please leave a comment. =) Isaiah 26:3
