Happy Hump Day! I just wanted to share a thought that I had with you all. Enjoy and feel free to weigh in.
I feel empty. I feel as though I have a hole in my heart. I feel as though I am sick with nausea. Why do we feel this way when relationships end or when there is a problem in the relationship? Is it because we don’t know what else to do? Is it because we don’t feel that it can be saved? Is it because we are afraid of what’s going to happen next? Well, to me I feel as though we have put too much of ourselves into the relationship instead of letting God do the work or instead of letting Him lead the way. True enough, a relationship is supposed to be meaningful, trustworthy, and special and so on, but they should not make us put our health and sanity at risk. I see it all too often, and to be honest I have been in that position a few times myself. Why can’t we be that way wholeheartedly about God? Why don’t we feel sick when we have wronged Him by not following His word? We give too much of ourselves in these relationships where the other party is barely reciprocating the effort. This pertains to any relationship be it with your significant other, your best friend, your church member, coworkers, and even your boss. .
I wonder what God would think if we treated him like we treated our “lovely” relationships. We go out of our way to please, depending on who it is. Let’s keep it real. We make sure our outer appearance is in order from head to toe. We make an effort to watch or record our special TV programs at a certain time. We make sure we workout and eat right. Why can’t we schedule in our reading time and prayer time like we do those other things? And I am not talking about 10 minutes either. If God did us the way we did Him then we would be in a world of trouble. I am guilty of all of this and that is why I can say what I am saying. I am slowly but surely coming around to making my reading and prayer time more a part of my everyday life. To be honest, all of us don’t read the word of God every day. We have to be real with ourselves and not worry about what others think as we make God a priority. He didn’t care what other people thought when He sent His only son to die for us. He didn’t care what other people thought when he blessed us in front of our enemies. He didn’t care what others thought when he saved us from dying in that accident, or dying when we were doing things that should not have been doing. It is time that we put some thought into how God feels when we give more of ourselves to things more than we give ourselves to Him.
