I’ve known @dwfaust here on twitter for a while. He seems like a great guy who loves the Lord. He always will have a conversation with you and really cares about what you have to say. So, here you go– enjoy.

This past Sunday our pastor made a profound statement during his message. He simply said that “you have as much of God in your life as you want”. It has taken a day or so for that to really soak in. But it is very true. We find time for things that we deem important. We brush aside the things that we value least. But where does God fit into our lives? I know that I am saved – I asked Jesus into my life many years ago. I know that I am forgiven because I have asked Jesus to forgive me – many, many times over.
Is that all I want or need?
Do I value God and the things of His Kingdom highly enough to pursue Him? Am I really satisfied with my relationship with God? Have I grown closer to the Lord since I met him? Am I leading others to Him, too? Or are those things no longer a priority for me?
Before answering, we should all take a few moments and look to see where we are spending our time and energy – because where we focus our time and our energy will show us clearly where our priorities lay. While it is true that we have daily “stuff” that requires our attention – “stuff” like family, job, bills and so on, it is also gravely important that we make time for the One who gives us life, and for the One who sustains our life.
Truly, we only have as much of God in our life as we want. He is standing on the sidelines waiting to be included. Take time today to make the Lord a priority.
