What are you chasing after?

Let me ask you a question, what are you chasing after? After examining what I was chasing after, I realized how much in my life I needed to stop chasing after and redirect my focus.
What I was chasing after, leads to broken hearts, restless nights and potentially into a life of sin. I was chasing after relationships that were not Christ focused. I was chasing after approval from anyone who would give it to me, no matter who that was. It was killing me from the inside out. I was self destructing. When I finally woke up to the realization that I was hurting myself and that what I was chasing after was not Christ centered, I began a season of change. I changed my whole thought process. I wrote down what I wanted and needed to start chasing after. At first, I stared at my journal wondering what I was going to write and suddenly God opened my mind and things came pouring out, it was as if I couldn't write fast enough.
My challenge for you is to find what you are chasing after that is dangerous, harmful, sinful, and write them all down. Ask yourself why you are chasing after those things. Why are you chasing those things? After you list out all of those things, throw it away, get rid of it. The act of throwing it away is symbolic of getting rid of those things out of your life. Get another piece of paper and write down all the things you need to be chasing after. Start chasing after God first and foremost.
May God bless you as you start to chase after the right things,
