THE ONLY ONE

Luke 14:26 (NIV)  "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple.

This verses talk about how to prioritizing God. This morning, I was read book, and I got some insight and question which pierced my heart. The question is "whether Jesus is the one or the only one in your life?
I reflect again this question because my answer is Jesus not the only one. Then there are four question which digging deeper my heart.


1. You use your money for what?
I know sometimes many people put a sense of security in money. Some people will recognize their character from the way they spend money. Are you spend your money for expensive food or clothes, or your hobbies, or you use your money to help poor and needy? Or you spend your money to tithes offering or special contribution etc? If you know who your priorities, you will know how to spending your money with wise way.


2. When your hurting, where do you going to get security?
I very know myselft. I know my answer, and I understand what the truth. But still hard for me. I know people will disappointed, and only Jesus can provide me security abundantly. But, I usually looks to people, to some people who I trust. 😭


3. What the most disappointed me and make me frustrated?
Same answer with number two. That's relationship with others. I love some people and I will not lost all of them. I will became mad if they abandon me or forget me. I can do anything to keep them in my side. I want to get attention from them and also their acceptance.


4. What the most make you exited?
Is God? or anything or anyone? 😭 Sometimes, the anwer is my friend, my family, my idols, etc. or my pride and my success. Even though I know that Paul said Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men (Col 3:23).


My priority become wrong. Jesus want He become the only one, not the first and then there are number second etc. There are price must be counting to be disciple. Jesus said you must hate your family, even your life. This because Jesus love you, not because He possessive or something like that. He want my heart.

Jesus, I want set my priorities to You. Must repent. And let it go anything or anyone who can make me far from You Lord.
Jesus, I will enjoy with You, walk with You give my security. You will not disappoint me and not leave me.


Thank you God for your love. ❤️
