neglect.

What I've been convicted with lately...

"I tend to focus my though on my Christianity -- how I'm doing, what I'm learning, how my prayer time was today, how I avoided that pesky sin or fell into it again. I think about what I'm supposed to accomplish for Christ, and I interact with others on the same works-oriented ground. But this day isn't about me at all. It's about Him: His sinless life, death, resurrection, ascension, and reign and the promise of His return. It's the gravity of His life that should attract my thought towards Him." Elyse Fitzpatrick from Comforts from the Cross

Your life can been filled with good things revolving around Christ, but if your being is not filled with the person of Christ alone, what is it all for? Isn't our goal in this life to be more like Christ so He can be made known? Somehow I make it about me. Gross.
