It always seemed so peculiar, to me, that others would throw their feelings aside for some sort of ideal. My philosophy was that if you loved something, you fight for it. I never took into consideration that two things someone loves can't live together.
"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit and a broken contrite heart..." -Psalm 51:17
Our God is a jealous God. He loves us more than we can ever comprehend. And because we cannot comprehend it, we rebel against it. Sometimes without even realizing that we are rebelling.
He will not settle for second place. As soon as something becomes so important to us, that we would not be willing to sacrifice it, then it has become an idol.
After we rebel by placing God as second in our lives, He is going to ask us to let go of whatever is more important to us. It will break our hearts, but that is the point.
If we get cut, a scar forms on our skin to remind us never to take part in the activities that led to that particular injury. In the same way, the pain in our hearts remind us never to place anything ahead of God. He alone is worthy of our hearts, and he has more to offer than anything or anyone.
If we let it go, it will break our hearts. But that is the sacrifice of God.
Let it go, let it go, let it go... And He will set you free.
