reprioritization

Monday, May 13, 2013 (1:08 p.m.)

Blessed Father,

It's me again. And this time I am feeling excited. Excited because I just now heard myself think the word, “reprioritize”. That's what's happening around here. It's been such a l--o--n--g time coming. But it IS indeed what we're experiencing. Reprioritization.

And then, just as if on cue, a section of scripture to turn to. Acts 2:42-47. Some 3,000 people responded to Peter's preaching and were baptized. They became a people devoted to loving one another as Jesus commanded (see: John 13:34). Their interests and concerns were reprioritized. That's what You are doing in us. Reprioritizing our interests. Our concerns. Our energies. Our thoughts. And values.

Father, again, I ask You to have Your way in my heart, soul, mind and strength that I will truly come to love others as myself (Mark 12:31). As I take some time to rest, I ask that You will ultimately be glorified in and through my thoughts and actions upon my return to activity.

I love You so very much and I want desperately to serve You well. Thank You for Your love and kindness. Use me well I pray. Amen.
