Have I given enough priority to Him?

Heard a tazkirah at masjid after maghrib tonight. It's about giving priority to Allah Taala.

According to this guy, there's a hadith qudsi that says, if we make time for Allah Taala to enslave ourselves to Him, He will close the doors to poverty for us.

However, if we do NOT make time for Allah Taala to enslave ourselves to Him, He will keep our hands and feet busy and He will NOT close the doors to poverty for us.

Which sets me thinking. How much time have I consciously put aside to enslave myself to Him? I have been busy with my errants. The more I try to catch up with them, the less I accomplish anything meaningful. And the errants become an endless list.

Another hadith says, being wealthy is not about having a lot of material goods, but is about having a big heart. How big is my heart? What have I sincerely and selflessly given away for His cause?

Man, I have a long way to go.
I mean, dear God, I have a long way to go. Please help me.

Infatuation doesn't take any effort. It's a feeling that doesn't accompany any action. Love is accompanied by a nice feeling, occasionally. Occasionally, we feel bad. Because the person we love hurt us after all the labor ...
