Me, Myself, and Jesus

Well getting more in the swing of things with this blog I decided to write something that has been on my mind since the day I came to know God and more of an understanding on how wonderful he really is. Lately I've been very VERY busy, and if I have anytime to myself I usually call it "me" time, but during this "me time" It usually consists of me just doing absolutely nothing. By nothing I mean things that won't benefit me in anyway. To sum it all up I am the epiphany of lazy when it comes to "me time". I'm ashamed of this yes, and while being in such a lazy state I begin to think of things that I could be doing. For example: read my bible, exercise, practice my Cajon (percussion instrument), paint. But I somehow always find a way to avoid doing any of these things.
 So why don't I get around to do any of these things? Well as sadly as this sounds (and I think a lot of people can relate) I tend to put myself before God. I know it sounds terrible but don't you lie! You have done it too. So has you mother, father, sister, brother, dog, fish, and every living person in this tiny planet we call, Earth. I'm not saying you're a bad person or anything, nor am I calling myself a bad person, we're human. Humans have selfish and down right dumb embedded into our skulls.
Now, I don't know about you but I don't want to have those words embedded in my skull. I want to replace those words with, compassion and loving. Those two words are what Jesus shows us every single day. Although we have our faults Jesus looks past them and says, "You are mine and I am yours." He shows us never ending love, even though we veer towards our own desires. I want to change my  "me time" into "Jesus time" (sounds like a game show or something.) I'd advise you to do the same. Take an hour or two to just study God's word. Really grip the message you're reading and write them down in your journal. Change "me, myself, and I" into "Me, myself, and Jesus." Focus on your relationship with him and I pinky swear only good things will come of it. I hope this made you smile and or your heart smile.

Peace and Hair Grease,
