God is the center

Something I want to bring up is how life is all about God. But while I've been thinking about it, I've decided there's (at least) two parts to it. The first is that God is more important than us, He is the focal point of the entire universe. The second is that even when we mess up (over and over again) His sacrifice for us and He Himself is who the focus should be on, not how terrible we are and on what we've done.
I'm going to cover the second point first because I've got more thoughts already prepared in my mind for it... When we sin, mess up, or really just anything bad happens, we tend to focus on how terrible we are or whatever we did was. Thoughts plauge us like, "I always mess everything up," "I'm not ever going to be good enough," "I ruin people's lives," "How can anyone Love me?" "No one should be around me or I'll mess them up too," it goes on and on... Realize, that's satan. When you or I let those thoughts stay in our heads and hearts, we are giving satan a major foothold and shoving God out of the way. We're also saying we know better than God. I'm not pointing fingers, I do this as well... But He died to save us from our sins. He went through all that, and we think that we can say He won't forgive us? Can't? That's an insult... He is looking at you with Love pouring from His eyes and forgiveness laced in the blood flowing from His hands and side... And you think that He can't or won't forgive you or Love you? That you're not good enough? Well, I suppose that the point of what I'm saying is that it doesn't matter if you're good enough. The focal point is that He IS good. And He is powerful and Loving. It's not about what you've done, it's who He is. It's not about who you are, but what He's done. The law -which shows us what sin is- is death Paul says to the Galations. Sin is death. But God has died FOR US. So we no longer have to live in fear and guilt! HE has set you free. It's about Him, because He is bigger than your sins, your mistakes, your guilt, your problems, and your life. He is bigger.
Ok so the second point which was really the first...is that He is the center of life in the world and the universe; we are incredibly blessed that He cares about us... And sometimes I honestly don't understand it. I don't understand why He would spend time on me. But I just have to trust Him to know best, let Him Love me, and Love Him back for it... But anyway, He obviously is the center. Not you. Not me. If we're too busy thinking about how terrible we are, or how we've gotten in the way of God's plans (uh, hello, don't think He can be hindered by us... But I've had that thought before.), we're not giving Him the praise, honor, and credit due to Him. We're too busy thinking about ourselves! Yes, I really do know what it's like to be in that situation and think only of myself. I do it. But I'm telling you (and myself) that we need to focus on Him... That's when the joy happens. That's how He designed our lives to be, and when we get priorities out of order, of course we feel messed up and overwhelmingly confused. But He's still there. his arms are open wide for you to run back to Him. He's not going to point out everything wrong you ever did; that was taken care of on the cross. He Loves you.He's worth your trust. And He's never going to leave you.
...Wish I could end it right there. But I just want to say a few more things. What I just wrote about is... Well, I wrote about God, and how He's the center. In the same way, this belief is a core belief when we follow Him... It will change how you think; if you allow it to. It will also change how you face trials, and pretty much every aspect of your life. God is the center. He makes everything work out for the good of those who Love Him.
