When do you stop actively pursuing Christ?

This is a tough question. When do we as Christ followers stop actively pursuing the God who created us, who loves us, who is for us in every way? We stop pursuing Christ when we start pursuing other things. When other things start to become of more importance and God becomes a side note. It can start with slight things-like a form of media we subject ourselves to. This is where satan gets his foot in the door. Then, we decide we would be okay with____ . You fill in the blank. It's when we choose to be complacent, when God becomes an after thought that we lose true devotion. The kind of devotion Christ expects from us. The kind of devotion that says we will drop all things to please Him, the kind of the devotion that sets us apart from the normal person, the kind of devotion that makes us look weird. We must crave intimacy with the Father. If we don't choose to do this daily, we lose our source of life.  It says in John 1:4 "In him was life, and that life was the light of men."  He is our light. Without him we are living in darkness. So, choose to actively pursue to be like Christ daily. With Him, you will truly receive life.
And on a side note you all should watch this video, it is a wonderful and inspirational thing.
