Tomorrow marks the mid-point of April. A couple weeks ago, I thought it would never come. However, now that it's here, well I'm not sure what to think. The last 14 days have been a very reflective, eye opening experience. Some great moments and some...well...not so great moments.
I've realized in the last 14 days, I have been drawn to Mark 12. Coincidence...I think not. Mark 12 is where Jesus lists the two most important commandments: love God and love people. The purpose this months was to really focus on my relationship with God, something that I've not exactly made the central part of my life. So through this passage of scripture, I realized what God has been really trying to speak to me: I need to remove the idols in my life...or in other words, not make them idols. God needs to become my center and stay my center.
As this month's end is right around the corner and life comes back full blast, I need to ready myself to not allow God to take a back seat. Without God, I am nothing and will be nothing. My relationship with God and how I live my life is going to affect my entrance into eternity. And there is NOTHING I want more than to praise my Savior, my Lord for the rest of my days.
So my goal for the REST of eternity: love the Lord my God with all my heart, my soul, my mind, and my strength.
...of course I'll love people, too, but that's just the second commandment ;-)
