Loving God

Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind”. Matthew 22:37

I have been doing some research, there are many different reasons for divorce, a few are common: financial issues, poor credit score, lack of commitment, infidelity and a change in priorities but poor communication or lack thereof is the primary reason for divorce in America. People don’t want to live with people who ignore them; the same people who vow to love them and always be there for them. Imagine living your life for a spouse, giving up your own dreams to take care of him/her and yet, he/she never make time for you and often too busy to even acknowledge your love. God love us so much that he sent His son, who gladly came, to give His life for our salvation (John 3:16), and yet some people don’t have the time to communicate with Him. They don’t pray and they don’t meditate on His word. At times, I think that God must feel some sadness to see how much we put the cares of this world ahead of Him, when He ordered us to cast our worries on Him )Psalms 55:22).

It's kind of outrageous that people should treat the creator that brought them into existence in such a way. If saved a person will be spending the rest of eternity with the God that he/she never had time for, a God he/she doesn’t even know, what a tragedy! People think that they can treat God the way they treat each other. They call on Him only under extreme pressure. Most Christians don’t even realize that God desire a relationship with them. He grieved the lack of intimacy and togetherness/alone time. The average lover walks out for lack of communication but the love of God endures forever. His love for us is so great that even though we spend so little time with Him, He still takes care of us. He watches over us like the Good Shepherd that He is. He wants only the very best for us, while at the same time he longs for our love and our time. But sadly few people even give God the time of day. (Time that He gives).

To make it short, I believe that God is looking for those who will be His best friend and closest confidante and with whom He will form an impenetrable circle, and an unbreakable bond. He is looking for those who make time for Him in the middle of their trials, knowing and believing that He is able and will pull them through. He is looking for those who trust Him and make communication with Him a priority. You probably heard this before: “tomorrow is promised to no one”. Make time to communicate with your creator today. Seize the opportunity right now to establish this relationship that you have been searching for.

Praise the Lord!
