Hang on to You

//And I'll hang on to You
coz You're stronger
and You keep me
from falling... //
Delirious? - Hang on to You

I've just had a bit of a shock. I'm not going to go into details here, coz I don't want to betray anyones confidance, but it really has been a bit of a shock. It's really made me think a lot about where I put my priorities. In my profile I said that God is the most important thing in my life, and if He's not He should be. How seriously do I take that? I was thinking about it, and what I actually invest most of my energies into - things like trying to get really good marks at university, being competitive, my social life, music (be it church music or otherwise), saying a lot of really God-centered stuff and then having a hard time putting it into practice. Sometimes I almost feel like I spend more time being a "Christian" than actually making God Himself a priority. Like I listen to a lot of Christian music, read Christian books, go to Youth Group, Songsters, Music Team practice, church... but how much of that is just "Christian" culture and how much is actually following God? I'm not saying that it's not important, because it is, but sometimes you spend more time doing all the "Christian" things and less time actually being a real Christian - that is, a Christ follower.

The cool thing about God is that He actually doesn't get mad if you screw up. I do it all the time, and He won't get mad, and He'll take you back no matter how many times you screw up. He's the God of second chances, third chances, millions and millions of extra chances, and you keep on getting them. He'll always forgive you, period. Jesus' blood will never lose it's power, it is the most powerful substance on this earth. And nothing is unforgivable. No matter what happens. My minds a little wandery at the moment, and all sorts of things are just blowing it all up into pieces, and I'm a little freaked out, but it's all gonna be alright. I think maybe I should go.
