My Place in God

No woman, no interest, no job, no hobby, no sin ...

No THING shall ever come between me and my God.

I might be distracted for a little while, but he is my first priority. I'm not a saint, but I'll be damned if I don't dedicate what I can as often as I can as much as I can. In the quiet moments when the lusts of this world have burned off temporarily, I seek the will of my God in cold thought and reaching heart. This is acknowledging all of the facts and then reaching for God despite them, whether they support or discourage the pursuit of faith.

How does one pursue their own desires and pleasures in the absence of God's hand? One doesn't. One turns, prays they haven't taken a wrong turn, and runs back until they see God's hand reaching out for them. Always seeking, always searching, always in pursuit of the knowledge of God - who he is.

My goal, my love, my ultimate allegiance lies in his whispers to my heart. If I must walk away from a great woman, I will. If I am to walk away from a great job, I will. If I must walk away from myself, I will.

May I walk to God and stay there. I will need pursue no other thing as long as I pursue him - for his will add upon me all I need and could want. I need only focus my attention upon him - knowing, loving and adoring.

"Dear Father, I seek the pleasures you have allowed life to offer, but never at the cost of you in my life. May I ever seek you before them, and love you before them, and worship you before them, and dance in you before them. May they watch my gift to you and imitate for the life I lead in you.

May I always live humbly by your feet, where I can always touch, and you may always love.

Amen."
