Seeing God Differently
I’ve been thinking about all the people I know who need God’s touch. Whether physical, emotional or spiritual, so many need God in a mighty way. I know there are people I don’t pray for as I should but I want to keep praying for the people God has put in my life. I want to be someone people can turn to in time of need. Not one who just talks about praying but someone who really prays.
Every Christian has the privilege of prayer but, sadly, it seems like many don’t take advantage of it often. They probably pray before meals and more than likely will go to God in time of crisis but we should be at Jesus’ feet all the time. If your children never talked to you except when they needed something, how would you feel? You may give them what they ask for out of love for them but I know you would be hurt that they don’t see a need to talk to you apart from that.
If we saw God as the best friend that He is, we would be communicating with Him constantly: finding out what He likes, what He doesn’t, what He desires us to do with our life, who He desires to speak to or reach out to through us. There’s so much He wishes to tell us if we would just take the time to listen.
Don’t treat God as someone who’s handy once in a while. Begin to see Him as the person you can’t live without … because that’s exactly who He is.
