Backwards

I've got it all backwards, haven't I?

I need to long for God first, before I long for a companion.

I need to learn to find satisfaction in God first.

I need to learn to crave His Word and His Way first.

I need to cultivate an intimate relationship with God first.

And that means first getting rid of all things that could cause me to stumble and fall into sin.

It's not easy.

But nobody ever said a Godly life was easy.

Luke 9:23... "Then [Jesus] said to them all: 'If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.'"

I need to learn self-denial.
