Obsession

I read a book called obsessed the other day.

Usually when we hear the word obesession, we think negative things. Yet, this book suggested we need to be obsessed with God. When I think about the definition of obsession and what that would look like pointed to the Lord, it's amazing to think about. What passion that would be. That is what I truly desire. Often i obsess about the things of the world rather than about God. But I want every part of every moment of my day to be consumed with Him and who He is. here's a quote from the end of the book:

"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. A certain man learned that the treasure existed and he developed a terrible obsession to possess it. He wasted all of his wealth and secretly sold everything he had to purchase the field so that he could own the treasure. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a pearl of great price. When a man found it, he sold all that he had and purchased the pearl. Unless you, too, obsess after God's kingdom, like this man did over his treasure, you will not find it. Knock and keep knocking. Seek and keep on seeking. When they send you away again and again, come back and seek still again. Then you will find the treasure you seek."
