hope in Christ.

"Don't make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don't make it the center of your life"
-Psalm 62:10

That verse i think can go in plenty different directions. Insert whatever you want in for stealing it could be anything from sex to lying or from women to men. Jesus needs to be the absolute center of my life, no matter what. I am nothing in comparison to God, and he is worthy of being the purpose of my life. I think that things can easily slip in and take full center of my life, it is easy all i have to do is let that happen and i probably don't catch it very quickly sometimes. The only true real hope that we have is in Christ. Wordly things have done nothing for me, and I don't think they do anything but leave people wanting more. It becomes this vicious cycle of trying to fill a hole that cannot be filled by anything other than Jesus Christ.

I have to ask myself everyday "Is God the absolute center of my life? the only reason I am smiling? The only reason I am breathing?"
