I struggle in life staying focused. My mind has a tendency to run wild. When I find something to be interesting, I seek it out, and then, typically, get bored with it – much like a kid playing with new toys on Christmas morning. And as my mind wonders, worries, and questions things of this world, I often feel a drift in my spiritual walk. Although I never drift completely out of faith, I do often find myself is a state that I do not want to be: farther from God. Fortunately though, at the point of realization, I am provided the opportunity to renew my faith and recommit myself to God.
I understand that my faith is a life long commitment, and one that I am very proud of, that is also going to be a continuous battle. I know that temptations and questions will try to pull me from God, but I also know that this will provide for more growth and commitments to God. As the world places demands on me, my hope and prayer is that I place more emphasis on my faith, for I know, in my heart, that is the only true way to be successful.
I counted all my dollars while God counted crosses;
I counted gains while he counted losses;
I counted my worth by the things gained in store,
But He sized me up by the scars that I bore.
I coveted honors and sought for degrees;
He wept as He counted the hours on my knees.
I never knew till one day by a grave
How vain are the things that we spend life to save.
I did not know till a friend went above
That richest is he who is rich in God’s love.
Josh
