Everyday, I'm faced with the simple struggle about what to write about.. But today, in second period, I made up my mind on what I want to write about...
I'm going to say this now. So, don't get mad at me for not saying anything about it.
This blog is going to get straight to the point, it won't be long!
I was simply reading this book called "Crazy Love" when I read this quote, " The irony is that while God doesn't need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don't really want him most of the time."
When I read this I thought "oh my goodness.. This is SO true."
Really, this is one of the most true things I've read in a long time..
Every single day, we need God and we have an opportunity to get closer to Him and spend some time with him, but we refuse the time to do other things that we think are 'more important.'
But you know what... Even thought God is a perfect being and He doesn't need ANYTHING to make Him happy, he created US to give Him praise.. He wants everybody to have a loving, personal relationship with us because He loves us! He loved us SO much that he gave his own SON. How many people would give their ONLY son to die for the sins of EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD? Not a one. God is the most unselfish thing there is and he gives us EVERTHING we need, yet all of us refuse Him... All the time. We don't see the importance in having a relationship with Him and we never want to spend time with Him..
Does anybody see anything wrong with this picture?
I sure do. When I die, I don't want God to say "Sarah, why did you not spend five minutes with me a day? Why did you text your friends instead of talking to me? Sarah, I was always here for you and you turned to humans for advice." I don't want that to be asked to me, I don't want that to be said to me.
I love God and I want to have a relationship with him, but I don't always choose the best way to show that.
So here's a goal for myself..
I'm going to wake up ten minutes earlier every morning to spend time with my creator.
With this goal, I depart.
