---We Must Be Broken To Come to Jesus~~

--"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
---(Matthew 6:33 /NIV) --

---WHEN I WAS A YOUNG mother, there was always too much to do and too little time in which to do it. Between working, cleaning the house, running errands, cooking, doing laundry, taking children to their activities, etc, etc....being a wife. I was either too tired or too busy to go to church. I missed Bible reading.

But as much as I loved my family, friends, and busy life, I knew there was something missing. One night, feeling tired and empty, I reached out to Jesus. I knew that He needed to be priority in my life. It was time to make changes in my life. The next morning, I began the day with prayer. I listened to worship music on the radio. I realized that Jesus wouldn't mind if I was washing dishes, cleaning the house, or driving while I prayed. He always wants to hear from His children. Jesus is always by my side.

Busyness can get in the way of spending time with the Lord. He longs for a relationship with us. He wants to lead us, guide us, and flood our lives with His grace and mercy. That only happens when we are in His presence, soaking up His love. I will spend more time with Jesus today, whether I'm driving, cleaning house, or preparing for the next day's chores. He must come first. I must stay 'broken' (from the cares of this world), and put Him first.
