Divorcing God
Posted by Phil on January 13, 2009
On my way home from the concert Sunday night, all by myself, I decided to cut the music off and just pray; just spend some time with God. I got to thinking something that had never crossed my mind before.
If my relationship with God was a marriage, I’m pretty sure we would be divorced. I’m also pretty sure I’m not alone in this thought. No marriage survives without good communication, trust, love, concern, selflessness, etc. I know I suck at all those things and more when it comes to my relationship with God.
The jaw-dropping truth is that although I deserve to have God walk out on our relationship, He continues to love and pursue me. Although I may turn my back on Him at times, doubt Him, question Him, fail Him and ignore Him, He will never fail me and will never leave me alone. He will always desire relationship with me. He was even faithful enough to die for me (AND YOU) so that He could redeem me. I’ll never understand why, because I’m such a flawed creature, but I will cherish that fact for the rest of eternity.
“Praise the Lord, all you nations; extol Him, all you peoples. For GREAT is His love toward us, and the FAITHFULNESS of the Lord endures FOREVER. Praise the Lord!” ~Psalm 117

wow! what a message! It’s really amazing that even though we may neglect the most important relationship of all….he’s still loving us 100%!! In response to your comment.. I love my job! Haven’t really come up on any funny situations yet but it is stressful! Funny, I always felt I wanted to be in law enforcement but I always listened to what others wanted me to do. I finally feel like I am where I need to be, making a difference in others lives who tend to not be so desirable to be around by society. Thanks to the Lord for all his blessings!
