"My son give me your heart and let your heart keep to my ways."
Proverbs 23:26 (NIV)
God should always be given our first priority in life. When he is first the rest of our life will fall into place. He asks us to give from our hearts, not because we are required, but because we want to.
It has been been said: The mind hears the truth. If we belong to God, our heart will love the truth. But our personal will determines the course of action we take. We all struggle in some area of life; you are not alone if you find your feet, or hands going in a contrary direction from God's will for your life. You're human like the rest of us.
But the more we give to God and want to please him, the more directed our feet and hands will follow. Does that make sense? When we are doing what we are suppose to do in life we are happier. Then it becomes easier to keep following God's desire for our life.
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one. Father just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world will believe you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they maybe one as we are one. I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
Father I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world." John 17:20-24 (NIV)
It's not always about us, but also about others around us. Think about the ones who need to see the light of God in us. May God keep us all on the right path, with souls that shed light everywhere we go.
