What Matters to You?

 

    Do you ever ask yourself what matters to you?  The answer is what is in the center of your mental closet getting the most attention is what matters to you.  If it is God, then ask for wisdom and discernment through this journey of understanding yourself, God, and what it all means.

    The more you push yourself out of the center and allow God to be in the center the more calm your soul will become.  Your heart can sing praise, your dialogue becomes Biblical.  You learn how to take a step back to see the bigger picture.  It is your life, but it is not all about you.  Your faith will show you how to love like Jesus.  Your heart will become more like a servant's than a master's heart.  

    Making room for God means owning that you are not your own god.  You see your weaknesses, frailty, and need for the only true God.  What your put your thoughts on is what will become your God.  If you want God to be the center of your mental closet, then you have to be intentional.  You have to read your Bible, pray, meditate on what you read and scripture based speeches that you hear. 

    It is only a matter of time for what matter most you will be revealed to the world.  No secret stays secret forever.  Take a practical approach.  You can declare that God is your center, but does your actions and lifestyle support that?  Do you speak life into people?  Do you proudly tell others about God?  Are you rude, impatient, or temperamental?

    You are loved and cherished by God.  He made you special.  When life gets hard or confusing remember that, so you can exalt God and not yourself.  If you want God to be the center of your Mental Closet, then you have to build His thrown there.  That will take time and energy, but it will humble you too.  You have to pray daily.  Don't just pray when you wake and go to bed, but when things happen or thoughts pop into your head.  He is available 24/7/365.  Stay connected with God and work toward Him, not against Him.
