A lot of times, we act as if God is someone we can just go back and forth with. For example, have you ever been in a relationship with someone then broke up with that person for a few days or so then got back together again. Except instead of staying together, you both are constantly breaking up on and off again and the cycle of this destructive love pattern continues to repeat over and over again for months, maybe even years on end? Thatโs how some of us treat the relationship we have with God like.
Weโve allowed ourselves to become emotionally lead other than spiritually lead to the point where we can no longer depend on God to supply our needs, weโve now shifted our focus from Him to man. We look for love, we look for some type of comfort, someone who will just be there and love us when it seems as though no one else will. Who will talk to us and allow us to be naked before them (naked in the sense of transparency). We look for all these things, these wants, these needs, not completely grasping the concept that we already have someone like that. His name is Jesus. Stop treating Him as though He is a boyfriend and know that He is more than the title youโve given Him in your mind.
Stop waiting for someone to swoop in and change your life , not that God canโt make that happen, but donโt allow yourself to become so dependent on man. What could they possibly do for, to and in you compared to God?? NOTHING!
We have Jesus ! And yet we act like we donโt want to have any strings attached because you feel as though He is a temporary God, a just-for-now God , a seasonal God but Iโm telling you right now that you serve a God who is forever, eternal and everlasting. You canโt shake Him, you canโt lose Him. All you can do is be in His presence and allow Him to take you where He needs to take you and get you to where you need to be and allow Him to grow and shape you into the man or woman of God that Heโs called you to be, to walk in His purpose and walk in His perfect will.
He is a husband, someone who will always be there, He is your providers, your sunshine on a cloudy day, He is the rhythm in every heart beat that thumps through your chest, He is the air that you breath, He is a life-giver and not a life-taker, He is the filling that consumes and satisfies every void within you, He is a lover and a teacher, He is a father and a leader, He is the head ABOVE all other heads, He is your motivational speaker, He is a chain breaker and mountain mover , He is your comforter, He is your hope, He is your lifeline, He is your savior, He is your hand holder in difficult times, He is your intercessor , He is your friend, He is the one you can open up to about any secret no matter how dark, He is the arms wrapped around you, He is the warmth you feel after joy, He is your strength and your protector , He is sooooo many things!!! That is the God you serve!
โฆ..But you donโt want that, youโd rather try to reap the benefits without having a total commitmentโฆ..NO STRINGS ATTACHED right? Youโd rather say โI want to live lifeโ BUT WHO SAID THAT LIFE STOPS WHEN YOU COMMIT AND SUBMIT TO CHRIST, if anything, it simply begins.
Donโt allow yourself to be consumed with this generations problem of debating whether or not you live a life for Christ. The idols, the so-called role models on social media show you a relationship with God thatโs half and half but you canโt be lukewarm and kingdom minded at the same time, it just doesnโt work like that, youโre either in all the way or not at all.
Itโs time to change things up a bit. No more wishy washy. No more โI want you God this weekโ but โIโm good by myself next weekโ. Commit and allow Him to love you with an unfailing love an everlasting love, an unchanging and unmoving love. Trust God. Know God for yourself. Experience His love, power, glory , grace and mercy for yourselfโฆ โI Want Strings Attachedโ itโs time to get connected and stay connected..
