The other day while talking with my daughter it became apparent that she had forgotten how much I had and do sacrifice for her. I had to remind her of where she came from and how much had been done for her to be where she was. That it was not only her own merit, but prayer and sacrifice of not only me, but her dad, grandparents, aunts and uncles. As silly as it seemed to me, I had to remind her that I loved her more than anything, and there was nothing I would not do for her!
Is that not just like it is with us and Jesus? We get caught up in the world and focus on our own circumstances, thinking it is all about us, we forget all that God has done for you and me, and that he loves us more that we can imagine! He died for us, what more does he have to do? If we do not hear from him it is because we do not speak to him or listen to him. Much like Adam and Eve hid from him because of their choices, yet he still pursued them. He is always present, even in our sin, but when we allow the world and our decisions to choke out our relationship with our Creator, we forfeit that intimate fellowship and protection that he promises to us, his children. The one who loves us more than anything is waiting to hear from us! His love never changes!
Are you like my daughter who needs reminding of how much she is loved, and how much sacrifice has been paid for her? Are you hardheaded and determined to do things your way and forfeit the love of your Creator who knit you in your mother's womb and desires only the best for you?
I pray that we are all reminded this day to value what we have as God's children, that we walk more humbly in this world, shinning our light bright for Jesus in all we think say and do!
