Nothing else matters more than my relationship with Jesus. I am not saying everything else is meaningless, everything has a purpose in life and without a relationship with God, first and foremost I don't think anything I have grown to love or have been able to obtain would have been possible.
Nothing else matters besides my relationship with God. This is a 100% truthful statement yet, no matter how much I want to live it out, I am still stuck wishing and craving to be a part of the "world". If right now I were asked to put down everything, all of my "stuff" for God to live a bold life for His glory, I honestly don't think I would be strong enough to take up that cross. This may be a radical example but Our Father is a radical Ruler! He calls us to hold ourselves accountable to a higher standard and to have truly RADICAL faith. Last time I checked radical does not look like some little college girl who flies off of every whim and who lives for the adrenaline rush of being in constant motion not pausing to BREATHE.
The Holy Spirit is my breath, so how do I expect to ever let Him use me the way He wants if I don't ever breathe? How am I going to ever live out a life of radical faith and thus allowing my relationship with God be the ONLY relationship if I never take the time out of my day to breath. God gave me His Spirit, His breath, His ruach to glorify Him BOLDLY. (Ruach is a Hebrew word meaning air in motion, the Holy Spirit.) Am I fulfilling His plans for me?
Lord, give me times of meditation and prayer this week. Teach me how to breathe teach me how to use this Ruach you have so wonderfully given for me. Allow my heart and soul to listen to this Breath of Life within me, have Your way with me Lord.
