love God first

• Matthew 10:37 (MSG)

---

"If you prefer [father or mother] over me, you don't deserve me. If you prefer [son or daughter] over me, you don't deserve me."

Love the Lord your God with all your [heart] and all your [soul]. -- the FIRST and GREATEST commandment [then] love your neighbor.

Do you love [your kids] or [your spouse] or [anyone] more than God? Do you lean on them and expect them to provide what only God can provide?

[I did] and let me tell you, it only leads to disappointment [and it's not their fault]. You just make them feel like a disappointment and you [strain] your relationship. People will [fail], people aren't perfect. Don't expect them to be. But God, He never fails.
