"Thing"

"But because I love them --and you --I've made a way for you to revolve your life around Me as your first thing. Everything else --your marriage, your checkbook, your self-esteem, your cancer -- is a second thing. When the first thing (namely, Me) is in first place in your life, every second thing will be yours to enjoy. And that will be when you're home, not until."
(From 66 Love Letters by Dr. Larry Crabb)

Lord, You are not something for me to check off my "To Do" list. You are not just another book to check off my reading list. I'm sorry for treating You as if You are just a first thing. You are my Only Thing!



Love,
Angie xoxo

Angie,

This speaks volumes and I thought for amount of the word, cancer, and amen and amen. When God is first, then all things come under His umbrella. Praise Him!

Your heart writing kind of goes along with mine from yesterday.

With love,
Yolanda

Sylvia's Song said...

Ang,
I'm thinking this must be Sara Groves song. I know she has been around but I am just now discovering her. This song is so on target for where I am learning about holy... thank you for sharing a song that I must sing from your blog. You are such a great teacher.

Also when you have a few moments I need a few more blog lessons. You have my info or just let me know.

Thanks for blessing me richly dear Siesta friend with God's Glo all over you even through your tears of pain. You are so passionately loved by Father God and your Siesta community.

Another Song I must sing.

Sylvia

What is the best job I've ever had?
