"Home is where the heart is."

if home is where the heart is, where is your home? 

what do you most love?

*sports-football, basketball
*hobbies-photography, music
*people/relationships
*Jesus Christ
*travel
*school/work
*politics
*clothing-how we look on the outside
*other

now we know we should say Jesus Christ, but if we were really honest, if we really looked at how we use our time, what would you have to say? to be completely and openly honest.

where to we spend out free time? where do we invest our energy and love? where are we placing our heart?

do we spend a majority of our time on something mentioned above? besides Jesus Christ?

or.

are we using our time to dig into the Scriptures? swimming ever deeper into the heart of a loving, all-knowing God? the One God that really matters.

are we reaching out to others, placing them and their needs before ours? serving God through how we live our everyday lives? is God our number one priority? or are we more focused on our family and work? have the other 'things' come before God? would we rather spend our time and energy on our hobbies? or on our relationship with our heavenly Father? do you have a relationship with Him?

our human nature would much rather sit on our duffs watching a movie or playing computer games than sharing Gods love story with others.

where are our priorities?

reaching out? --or reaching in?

where are we most comfortable? talking with others about football or the latest movie, or encouraging them with their walk with the Saviour?

now don't get me wrong, many of the 'things' in our life are important, and should be -- family, work, etc, but are they more important to us than our relationship with Jesus Christ? are we taking time out of out schedules for what will really last forever?

would/are we willing to give up everything for God? do you think you would be able to live with nothing but God? relying wholly on Him, and Him alone?

is your home {heart} in God's loving hands?
