One more week

I have one more week until my wedding. It is an exciting week as well as a very busy week. Not only do I have events that are necessary to be done in ministry, I also have events that need to be done for the wedding. And then there is the house and the progress of construction. Many things are going on this week. Have we anticipated all of them. I think that we have.

Which leads me to the main reason for my post. Prioritizing everything that needs to be done. I see so many things that are yet to occur. I have reduced my "to do" list to not many. And yet what truly comes first? Jesus said it best, saying, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your souil, with all your mind, and with all your strength." Now you may be asking yourselves, "What does this mean to me?" It means that before all the craziness of life begins to occur and the stresses and strains of works begin to bring you down, love of God is the beginning of all of it. And you will see, when loving God first helps us to deal with the procesess of things that have to occur. I'm not sure if you realized that we are the highest priority of God. He loves us so much, that He created this universe and world, jus for us. We human beings are central and the highest priority of God. That is why God the Father sent God the Son into our world so that we are saved from our sins. All God did and contiues to do, is with us as His first priority. Because we believe this, we then love God in return. As ones who love God first, we notice that priorities of life look different, or take on a different hue. They are still important and necessary. But I think that you will begin to look at the priorities of life with a change of perspective.

Please let me know what you think.
