Catching up on learning

Today I finally had time and took time to read the Lent book from Mars Hill. I had listened to Sunday's message on Tuesday but ran out of time before I had to go to work. Today was my "catch-up" day. I looked at these 4 different passages. Phil 3:7-11, 1 Cor. 1:4-9, Eph. 1:3-14, and Psalm 57:7-11. Each passage I read had a very different effect on me. I realized and learned a lot today. I realized that I need to get my passion for God back. It's not going to be easy but it is not something that is so far fetched. I need to start serving more and go to church. I need to be constantly fed. I've noticed more recently that I need to physically eat about every couple of hours to not be starving. I realized that I've been starving myself of God and learning. I need to be fed by Him all the time. He needs to be my main focus. I need to keep my eyes on Him at all times.

I think one of the biggest things that I learned today was that God loves me more than I could ever imagine. He chose ME. He created me in His image. He gave me everything I need. What have I done for Him lately? I've tried to stay connected. I've tried to listen. I've tried to be in constant communication with Him. But my heart wasn't in it. My heart has been hurt in the last few weeks and while I have been spending time with God, my heart and sometimes my mind kind of gave up. I've noticed my attitude and the things that come out of my mouth haven't been honoring to God. These are things that I'm going to work on. My heart needs some work and I know that God will heal it and make it whole again.

May God be with you.
