This week has been a great adventure as Rosemary and I have taken in 2 little girls. We are considered to be MeMe and PopPops to them. I only have a taste of what it would be like to have them living permanently with us. Everything changes: the things you do, the food you eat, the time it takes to get ready, the TV shows you watch, when you go to bed, the places you go, and the list goes on and on. Mainly your priorities are changed as you care for little ones who can not defend themselves. And God forbid that you neglect their care to do your own thing because you are responsible for them.
While reflecting on this week, God spoke to me of His love and concern for you and me. When someone accepts Christ into their life, everything changes or should change. The things you do, the time you spend in God's Word, the shows you watch, what you do, when you go to bed, the places you go, and the list goes on. Mainly your priorities are changed as you care for your relationship with Christ.
The problem comes when we neglect our relationship with God. Many times we turn our back on Him and do what we want and what we used to do. How sad it must make Christ as He calls us to turn around and look at Him. Our neglect of living a daily Godly life affects us in drastic ways. Through our neglect we become malnourished, dirty, un-kept, and self-centered. What a sad state to be in when we could be filled to contentment, have clean hearts, shine with God's love and become concerned for those around us.
God our Father wants you and me to enjoy the life He has given us. That comes when we follow Him in everything we do and everywhere we go. Learn the lesson from caring for small children and care for your relationship with Christ.
