As I have mentioned in previous posts, I’ve been extremely busy it feels like. It feels like I can’t catch a break and life keeps getting thrown at me.
In John 21: 15 , Jesus asks Simon Peter “do you love me more than these?”
I have a lot of “these”.
These are the things I put above God.
Lately, it’s been school.
School is not a bad thing at all. God has put me in school for a reason. It is apart of God’s plan. But it is not supposed to take the place of God as number one. & honestly it has. I just get so consumed in doing well in my classes and trying to have control over it. Which leaves me feeling empty and thirsty.
John 4:14-15 “but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The Water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
I’ve been filling my thirst with earthly things that will pass away. When instead I should be filling myself with the Holy Spirit.
Come into every situation with God’s fullness instead of emptiness.
XOXO,
