Is it enough?

Too many times, of recent and as of old, I've seen people putting too much reliance on the things of the world. Even people that claim to be Christian, you and I, rely on things so much and we don't realize it. We get up each day; we check our Facebook, email and other social networks online, we see our boyfriends, girlfriends or those people we spend time with everyday, we go to our job to get paid or study so we we have a purpose to our lives. But do we ever stop and think about what's more important in our lives?
Is checking your Facebook notifications more or less important than getting into reading on God's word...?
Is seeing our boyfriend, or girlfriend, more or less important than embracing God's love and trusting him...?
Is getting paid in money more or less important than giving of our time to God...?
What is more important, God or things of our daily lives? When do we stop and give the things of our lives over to God, praising him for these blessings to us?
Do we ever be thankful that we we have internet, that there is a safe roof over our heads, that there are a bunch or mass of people that care about us, or that we get the privileged of eating nutritious food or drinking clean water?

Do we ever stop relying on the things of the world and directing our eyes to the Lord, that GAVE us all these things? Since WHEN did all of these things become more important than God, so much that God's love becomes something we talk about only sometimes? WHY don't we remember that it is because of God's love that we have these things, if God's love should be that important and ENTIRELY significant as that, then why don't we remember and give thanks to him each day?

Just a lot of pent up anger I've had about crappy attitudes towards being a Christian, even my own. So much I forget that I have a love in my heart that was GIVEN to me of no expense except that a life was sacrificed so that I may know the magnitude of his love and have all of my crappy attitude problems paid for!

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
- Ephesians 2:8-10 (ESV)
