Love’s Commitment

In response to the end of yesterday’s post… and since today is Friday! I thought I would mix today up a little.
Yesterday we learned (or remembered) how God is always with us, how He has gone before us, and He is THE Way, THE Truth, and THE Life!
Maybe since yesterday you’ve thought more about Christ’s constant presence. I pray we’re all more aware of how close He really is.

In thinking of how close Christ is and how committed to us He is…I wonder how committed we are to Him. In order to be committed to Christ we should confess our sins, believe that His is Lord, and follow Him. (You’ve heard that before right?) 

So answer this for me, does your commitment to Christ end there?

My best friend proposed to me two months ago, and he is a God-fearing, Christ centered man (most of the time). He tells me he loves me and shows he cares about me in different ways. If my fiancé’s commitment to me were simply to tell me he loves me every now and then (mostly when he needed something from me), and he only tries to see me once or twice a week (maybe three times), and he does nothing else to try and know me better and grow closer in our relationship, I would NOT want to spend the rest of my life with him.

Sadly, most of us are pretty content with our commitment to God being just that… a relationship where we say ‘I love you’ when we need/want something…where we only spend a little time with Christ…and we do very little to know Him and His will.

I am going to end here today…With the hope you will consider the commitment you’re giving to Christ.

Lines in the Sand

We draw these imaginary lines in the sand… Then, the tide comes and we wonder why we must start again… We build our castle of sand and hope it stands… Then, the tide comes and we are displeased we must build again… We make our own plans as we dream on the shore, Then, the sun sets and we wish for more.
We wish for more time to enjoy the day. We wish our lines in the sand would stay. We wish our castles could be bigger and stronger. We wish our plans would happen now and not take any longer.

We rise the next day and do all of this again.
We work to maintain, a new way we never entertain. We start each day as a new beginning. Always wishing for a new ending.
Yet, we continue to draw our lines in the sand. We build our temp…

Tired - Competition

That was it. I was tired.
Not the tired where I will sleep well because my rest was well earned. Not the tired where you’re groggy and just need extra sleep. The restless tired. The dangerous tired. The ‘I am done with this!’ tired. Why? I was tired of competing with multiple screens: a TV, an ipad, 2 phones. Tired of competing with every professional and college sport broadcast – with the exception of women’s sports because we don’t get those on our TV. Tired of competing with presidential news and daily “to do” list that have more weight than US (as a couple). Tired of there always being one more chore before that project I want to get to can be started. Tired of the same ol' same.
In the end I was just tired.
Tired of a world where we have to compete for a loved one’s attention. Tired of competing with society’s mandates. Tired of being a slave to fashion and trends. Tired of competing with society’s warp version of pretty. Tired of competing with a supermodel’s body image.
Mostly, I am tired …
