I have gone two weeks without Facebook! This has been an interesting journey so far, I have enjoyed finding other uses for my time, I find myself using my time a little more wisely and also spending more time with the people I would talk to on Facebook instead of just talking to them. I have honestly been enjoying this time very much. I am definitely considering continuing to keep my Facebook consumption limited, even when I am able to get back on again. I am about a quarter of the way of the way through my 40 day fast. I never thought it would be as interesting as it has been. Not only am I getting to know myself, but I am growing spiritually and mentally, also I am growing in the knowledge of who my Jesus really is.
I read mark 12:41-44 today, such a small passage but very powerful. Jesus was watching many rich people give large gifts for everyone to see, then he saw a poor widow give a small amount. Jesus knew the hearts of all the people and he knew that the widow was the one who gave the most, for instead of giving what she had left over she gave everything that she had. Jesus is not impressed by the left overs that someone gives him, he wants everything. If you give him what is left over of your time are you truly giving him anything of yourself?
That is currently what I am pondering, what in my life am I just giving God the left overs? Am I giving God everything that I am, all of my heart? I think that if I were one of the people that Jesus saw walking by I would not have the heart of the Widow, instead I would be one of the rich people putting on a show. I don't like that about myself. I want to have the heart of the Widow, giving all I can for God.
