As I sat in the quietness of my front porch I read these words and then yet again, stirring up my soul with conviction. "Yet I hold this against you; You have forsaken your first love."~ Revelation 2:4.
In a whirlwind of daily activities and all that accompanies them, it is not hard for one to lose focus of what truly matters in this world. Recently I found myself growing complacent in my time and relationship with the Lord. I found my moments of devotion and prayer becoming more a sense of duty and lackadaisical mindset rather than one of Desire and Commitment. Why with someone who has so much time on their hands, not give the Creator more of it? More focus? More attention? More love for the One Whom first Loved them?
A Broken Hallelujah became the convicted song of my heart. I found spending less time on my cellular device and in other places has helped increase my time and attention towards the Lord and for all those around me. I had an even greater desire to invest more of my relationship with our Heavenly Father as in the lives of all that mean so much to me. To give freely of myself. An offering of Praise and Sacrifice. Life is precious. We all have been given this immense gift of time and the option of how we spend it. How will you spend yours?
