Desiring God In Your Life Is He First
Desiring God in our lives is great however is He first in our Lives. Do we put other things before Him what if Jesus had said not today I am heading to… Do we really put God first or is only when we need him?

Matthew 22:36-40 (ESV) 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
Think about it. If we all actually love our Lord and everyone else, there is no way we could sin against anyone or break His original ten commandments, at least not intentionally.
The first commandment of the New Covenant. The second is just like it; we shall love our neighbor as ourselves. If we are desiring to be what God wishes us to be this is where we start. Thus our Motto in ALMs “Loving God… Loving People” This is where we start think about it Jesus loved us so much that he was beaten and hung on a cross for our sins, past, present, and future”.
So let us start with putting God in His proper place. 1st in our lives and see what happens. We are not in a game this is a war for lives. There is no guarantee how long we will be here. Sooner or Later we are going to meet Him and will be ready right now we are desiring to be near Him however are we doing and being what we should be doing are we putting GOD FIRST? Let us do that and see how that works I think we will be surprised how well it works.
