it is easy to go about the day without paying any mind to god, except to fit him in at the end of the night. i used to catch myself being lazy with god and thinking to myself "i'm too tired to pray and give glory, I'll do it tomorrow" just before closing my eyes. it's important to remind ourselves that he IS our foundation; the rock we call on. He IS the answer and THE way. I mean, ask yourself: Is God #1 in my life? I had to ask myself that a while back, and the truth behind that question will reveal where your heart stands today.
A side note.... I was reading through a book the other day and I ran into something that I had never understood before, until now. Funny, huh? I am STILL learning myself through God and going at a pace he feels is right for me. Anyhow: God has, was, and will ALWAYS accept me for who i am. My heart did not believe this until just a few days ago.. Crazy, isn't it? I mean, think about it in more depth! Think about your BEST friend, the absolute closest friend you know to-date. What if I asked you to tell that person every single deepest-darkest thing about your life - would they still accept you? Better yet, what if you continuously did things wrong unintentionally (maybe even intentionally, at times) to hurt this person over and over - Do you think they would still accept you? In fact, what if you told them ALL OF THIS before they even knew your name - Do you think they would bother? Well guess what...HE knew all of this stuff way before you thought-it and did-it. He knew everything about this world, and that most of us wouldn't even dare to love him back, and he did it anyway. he sacrificed himself so that we could live on through him. all he asks in return is one thing....
you should ask him about it when you get a chance :)
