It Starts With Me Loving Jesus The Most


Colossians 3:1-2 (ESV)
3 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.


You don’t get to have a godly relationship without first being godly yourself. Instead of pursuing a relationship, spend your time pursuing Jesus. He’ll take care of the rest.

Many of us have when younger had probably pictured a happy, fun, romantic life as a married man or woman, It didn’t  just happen overnight. It started with us, and it starts with us loving Jesus more than we could possibly love another human.

Many of us think that we have gaps that can only be filled by our soulmate. The truth is that no matter how “perfect” the person you end up with may be, it still won’t be enough. If you want to have dating relationships that are successful in the eyes of Jesus, you have to seek Him, ask what He wants for you, and listen to what He thinks about dating. It starts with you submitting to Jesus. Only after you’ve gotten to the point where Jesus is your everything will you be whole enough to make a good wife or husband for someone else.

So don’t wait until you’ve met that person that you want to be with. Don’t wait until college is over to be more selective about who you date. Put Jesus first now and trust Him to bring about the right person at the right time. By doing this, you’ll get His best for you and avoid a lot of unnecessary heartache.

What could you do practically to put Jesus first?

The Bible makes it clear that Jesus’ highest priority for us is to love Him. Do you live like He is your highest priority?

Dear Lord, help us make you the highest priority in our life. Help us to not put anyone or anything ahead of You. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
