The most important thing in my life

When people are asked the question: What is the most important thing in your life? Most people I'm sure would answer their family, the second answer you might get would probly be their life, their friends or maybe themselves or their job. I on the other hand wouldn't answer any of those. Now don't get me wrong, I love my family, very much (imediant & extended included in that plus my friends. who to me are just another type of extended family). But the most important thing to me is: God, Jesus, my faith in God. Thats whats most important to me, My family of course is second only to God. I love my lord and savior very much, I couldn't live with out him. Emotionly, Spiritualy or Physicly, He is my God and nothing comes before him. I find peace and joy in loving and serving him, I have in the past when I was young tried living for my self. But I have found that true joy comes from loving the lord with all your heart, mind and soul and serving him as best as you can. As an extention of my love for him I love others and do my best to serve them and be there for them, as my savior has been there for me. I find joy, peace, happiness and contentment in loving him & other people, serving him and those around me. That for me is where my joy and happiness resides. my list of important things goes like this: God, Others (including family and friends) and last but not least myself. I try to do nothing to simply please myself but to do things that please God and make him and others happy. My happiness comes last, God and othe peoples first. But, you know What? That makes me happy, I find I'm happier when I keep my prioritys in that order rather then putting it backwards and having my happiness first. My God is everything to me, for without him I wouldn't have anything at all. So, You see the most important thing in my life is God.

for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

And Jesus said unto him, thou shalt love the lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. matthew 22:37-38
