REDEDICATION✞

I would say 99 out of 100 people would probably say I had no need to rededicate my life. I already attended church 3 times a week, I’m a good person, with good morals, and usually do the right thing just because it’s the right thing to do. (I literally don’t even drink) I haven’t done anything “wrong” at all and no I’m not running away from any trials, tribulations or even temptations that I’ve had so don’t let your mind go there. From the outside looking in I’m a good girl, a good person... and really from the inside looking out I’m still a good person.

So why? Why did I feel the need to “rededicate” myself to Christ? My soul. I was going back and forth within myself and outside of myself trying to fill my soul. Trying to solve my problems myself. Thinking things like “is it decorating that fills my soul?” No. “Is it my husband, friends, family that fill my soul?” (yes) but no... that’s still not it. I can’t figure myself out, why do I feel so empty and hollow and like my life is meaningless when everything around me would point to a “full” life. I dunno. I kept going to church, work, home, going through the motions, trying to figure myself out.

It hit me like lightening, Jesus. Where is he? Where is he in my life? See the thing is, from the outside looking in, all the things around me POINT to Jesus, but where was he? I had stopped making him the priority and I left him on the back burner. So where was he? Right where I left him.

I’d been trying to figure my life out without him, and it’s sad that I never called on his name to take care of me, although he’s never failed me before. I rededicate my life because this life isn’t my own, I’m not here for a “title” I’m not here for praise, I’m here because he deserves it. I’m here because God is able, he doesn’t deserve the “back burner” not from me and my lukewarm self anymore. (Rev 3:16) From now on when you see me, you will see him. He is the priority in my life not an option. I will praise him at my highs and I will worship him at my lows, because he is still the same. (Heb 13:8) I am not ashamed nor will I ever be. (Psalm 27:1)
