Priority or Option?

"Never make someone your priority and allow yourself to be their option."

I've heard this quote and like it. But for some reason, I've heard it almost daily for the last week. It really spoke to me in a different way this time.

I'm so thankful that God doesn't live by this quote. How many times in our lives have we strung God along as option B, C, or even D? We have always been God's priority. Even after His perfect plan was tainted by sin, He sent Jesus to die for our sins to bridge the gap and create a way for us to be with Him again.

I know I've been guilty of having a "pocket Jesus" and pulling Him out only in times of need. But He desires that we make Him our top priority - just as He does for us daily. All we have to do is turn to Him and give all our issues to Him. He's always there.

Lord, help me to always make you my priority - I can't make it alone - I need You!
