Make Him my priority...

I have been single for many many years. I have always longed for a relationship again but was so afraid. I always had faith that at the right time someone would come...this I knew. What I did not know was that I would be tested. What I did not know is that I would fail the test. I would have bet all that I had on the fact that I would not fail , that I could not fail... yet I did in so many ways.
However failure always presents a lesson to us, if we allow it to. If we don't wallow in the self pity, if we pick ourselves up and with compassion open our hearts to the lesson, we will surely find it. The lesson I have learned in all this is that as soon as someone came into my life, I would turn away from the one true love of my life. I would know He was there but my focus would be on this new person in my life. I no longer focused on the One who gave me my life. I would no longer focus on the One who loved me more that I loved myself. I would no longer focus on the One who has a purpose for me and a plan for me. I had lost focus and I took advantage knowing He would always be there for me.
As I think about it I am clear now that it is part of what I needed, to be tested, to fail so that I could refocus on Who really is number one in my life. I believe we all have stepping stones in life and each stepping stone leads to better things in our lives, if we only have faith. If we always focus on who our priority is in this life, then everything else falls into place. It is when I don't put my Lord and Saviour as number one in my life that everything seems out of control.
And so I refocus daily to what is really important in my life. I daily remind myself of how important He is to me. I take time to be with Him. And in doing so I regain my peace once again. So I ask you as I ask myself every morning, and even every hour if needed.......... Who is your priority?
