devotions

one thing i appreciate about my family is that they keep me more accountable about doing my devotions than anything else.

since taking up the role to coordinate vbs at my home church, the need to stay close to God has been imperative. but even then, even if i hadn't taken that position, it would still have been important.

i've learned that once you neglect the Word, slowly and slowly your relationship with the Father will be...almost non-existent. it would be as if you've never known Him. the more you neglect the relationship, the farther apart you seem.

the same thing happened with me and a friend. at first, we were practically siblings. we spent lots of time together. but then, for some reason, we just stopped talking. stopped hanging out with the same people. now it's gotten to the point where i can't remember when i last felt like we were truly friends. what happened? i have no clue.

and then i related this feeling to my relationship with God. i started to realize that the same feeling i had toward this friend, i had the same feeling with my God....how sad is that?

do i ever want my relationship with the One who save me to ever be this way?

never
