"Gospel Obsessed"

Being obsessed with the gospel; what a strange and confusing concept. I am in the process of trying to figure out this beautiful lifestyle, and live as one who literally a fanatic for this Good News.
The term obsession is so often seen as a negative thing. And I suppose in most situations it is. I see the things I become consumed with like music, friends, material items, and dreams. They fill my mind and my heart and they preoccupy my thoughts. At times, I reckon I get to the point of living for them. I talk about them and think about them regularly. And as I examine these things I begin to think about that term, "Gospel Obsessed". Am I truly a fanatic for the Gospel?
Wow. I long to be that. I yearn to be so in love with the Gospel that I can't help but think about it and talk about it. I crave this obsession. I want my life to be consumed with it. I want to fall more and more in love with it, minute by minute. I desire to treasure it, and for it to be rich in my life. What else matters! It is the ONLY obsession that will truly satisfy and fulfill.
And beyond this, I want to be apart of spreading this love for the Gospel. I long for Christ to use me, in whatever way necessary, to pass this "Gospel Obsession" on. For my life is worth nothing, if I do not complete the task placed before me. And I reckon this is, in fact, the task at hand!
