"You shall have no other gods before me." (Deut. 5:7)

I remember when I first wondered about why that was the first commandment. At first it seemed quite egotistic, and I reasoned, Well it is God...He's sovereign. He is first. He can do whatever He wants. Later I understood that it was because if Christ really was one's God then it set the basis for why he/she would follow all the other commandments. Logically everything made sense. But it's only recently that I understand God's feelings behind this commandment.

For One to love us so much...to always be thinking of us...to have done so much for us...to have given up everything for us...to always want the best for us, the fact of the matter is that it simply hurts too much to feel betrayed or to be considered second-rate.

Love... really makes you wonder how much you can endure.

Sometimes I wonder how much others really care. Or maybe it's just that I care too much.
