In this new world with instant gratifications, (like my iPhone and Facebook), it’s more and more less difficult to get my heart entangled in mediocre things. How hard is it to keep Jesus the center of my life?
Jesus, who knows all hearts, spoked to the crowd one day with these words:
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV)
Jesus stressed to His followers that what a person treasures is where you find his heart. And was He wrong?
I have a friend who is consumed into being the next rising music artist. He spends hours of his free time writing songs and practice his vocals. He even bought a camera to do his own music videos!
For for him its music, but what drives your life? What “passes the clock” for you? What is it that effortlessly takes up your time? If you take the time to answer these questions, you will find what consumes your time; therefore what is the center of your life.
To make Jesus your center, you have to make Him an interest. It’s all about changing your appetite. I grew an appetite for celery. You need to change your appetite. King David offers the right prescription: 
“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good.” (Psalm 34:8 NKJV)
It will begin distasteful: maybe starting 5 minutes with Christ would feel like 5 hours of grueling silence, but that’s okay. You weren’t born a Christian. Just like we weren’t born an adult but grew into one, so we gradually develop into the person God wants us to be.
Start with a change of mind. Honestly, one of my constant prayers is, “Jesus, help me to want you”.
God lives in you, and He has promised that He will complete the work that He started in you (Phil 1:6)!
Make Jesus center by building an interest.
