Serve from your best and your home will be blessed.(44:30)
I used to think Adam and Nichalas were my best from everything I have ever produced.
They aren't.
It isn't that they aren't the best, it is that they are not mine.
Just like everything else in my life.
I am blessed in being who He appointed to be a steward for what and who is in my life. I am not the owner.
Yet, how often do I hold back the "best" of things and offer up to ABBA my seconds? Holding on to satisfy my selfishness, to fulfill my self-worth, to feel security?
In serving Him up the "seconds", I am not fooling Him at all. It isn't that He needs my "best", He instructs us to give to Him the "best" for a reason.
If we don't, the "best" will become our gods.
I used to get my worth and satisfaction, my love fill if you want to call it that, from Adam and Nichalas. By placing them first in my life, I was not only placing ABBA further down the list, but also Curt. I was also placing a huge burden on Adam and Nichalas. There isn't another human (or thing) who is able to fill our God-void.
Sure, I still wrestle with placing security, my worth, in things of this world, but it isn't the battle it once was. I find more and more I want less and less of things - stuff - to fill my life. I love being with Adam and Nichalas, but have put Curt above them.
And above Curt? Is my ABBA. He has become my "bestest friend".
Better than the "best". So blessed.
