Wasted Affections
I think of the things I spend most of my time thinking about, and I am ashamed. We're called to live a life of radical devotion to our Lord. If I were truly devoted to my Lord, my thoughts would be dramatically different. I can look at my affections as attachments. How many attachments do I have that do not glorify my Father? Too many to count. Learning to take every thought captive seems impossible, but then again I serve a God that can do far more abundantly than all I ask or think. I don't want to waste my time on the petty things of life. If I'm truly devoted to something, it has my full attention. I would do anything for it. My desire is to be FULLY devoted to my Savior. How could I not desire that after everything He has done for me? This world has nothing to offer me. I've spent so much wasted time on things of unimportance. I see it as wasted affections.
