Do I have “it”?
I just finished reading Craig Groeschel's it and I am convicted. I hate to admit this, but I lost my focus. Doing ministry has made me lose sight of pursuing God. I have focused so much on reading books, dowloading podcasts, reading blogs and Twittering with others that my spiritual life is not where it should be. And God, I'm sorry for that.
This changes now. Nothing is more important than my #1 – God. He is what I live for, and I'm sorry for losing sight of that. God, without you, there is no point in doing ministry. If it's not about You, then it's pointless. Lord, You have revealed Yourself to me many times over the last few months, and I've misinterpreted the why. I thought you were confirming the path I was on, but that's not why.
You were calling me back to You, calling me to refocus on You.
I'm sorry I was so dense. I'm sorry I was distracted.
I'm sorry for not burning for You with the passion I had before.
Please, reignite the fire. Consume me. Help me stay focused on you. Draw me closer to Yourself and heal me.
