I'm 3rd
Actions have always spoke louder then words. I know the people in my life that love me by the attention I receive from them. To be devoted to someone is a deep commitment that takes time and effort but is driven by a desire to be with or honor that person. I must put aside my selfish ambitions if I am to be devoted to others in Christ. Daily I want to serve myself w/ even the little things like I deserve time alone to rest b/c I have worked so hard. Honoring me means taking time in my schedule to make time for me. There is not enough time in the day for me to get everything I need to get done. By the end of the day I'm tired, but I got all of my "to do" list done. Thats great if it was "I'm 1st". I live my life backwards so much and use the excuse that I just ran out of time. I must stop saying yes to temporary things and start saying yes to eternal things. If it takes scheduling an hour to spend time w/ God and telling others that I have a meeting then I must do that. I need to create more meetings w/ God. Then once my time w/ God is straight I need to purposefully schedule time and invest myself into others to grow the kingdom. May I stop living like "I'm 1st"
