Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.
~1 John 2:15
Read that one more time, and really think about what it's saying. Were this Daniel's blog, it's likely he would break down this passage and preach a small sermon right here. I'm simply going to say: don't spend your whole life pursuing things that don't really matter. Pray and read to discover what action God wants you to take for Him, then follow His lead and do it. God is jealous: we are His bride; he wants and deserves all of our love. He doesn't want to share with "the world". He wants His bride to be faithful to him. Failures though we are, He will always take us back. We know from yesterday's verse that God will never divorce us. Jesus is faithful to me.
I can't figure out how to upload an mp3 to the blog, so I'm giving you a link for Jesus Is Faithful sung by Anna, a sweet lady at our church who is my dear friend and mentor.
