6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
Jesus is the answer, not an answer. Nothing burns me up more than people that run to the Lord only when they need or want something. It breaks my heart. Here He is a perfect Friend and Father at all times, waiting for you to call and all you ever do is call Him when you want something. Would you like someone to do that to you? No one likes to be "used" or taken advantage of and the Lord is no exception. He loves us so much, yes, but He is also a fair and just God. If we as believers are not spending enough time with Him and other "idols" are coming before your time with Him, then do you think He is going to reward your disobedience? I don't believe so. He is a merciful God and loves you so much and may answer a prayer to gain your attention but continuously? No. I was telling my husband that the Lord blesses us the way He does because of the way we obey Him. It is our reward. The Lord spoke to my heart yesterday and said, "for those that trust me", meaning 'yes I blessed you but you trusted me and did your part'. The Lord will only come so close to us. He waits on us to seek Him. Many are called, but few are chosen means few "answer His call". Are you one of them? Do you run scared and run to Him when something bad happens? Or when you are in need of a miracle? Or need an answer to a temporary problem? Do you not see that He knows if He gives you all you ask without giving nothing in return that you will never then think you "need" Him therefore you will never "seek" Him. It is all very logical and clear if you follow. We hold an open weekly bible study and I tell them this is the time to praise and worship the Lord, learn about Him and learn the Word. It is not a support group. Yes, we love each other and pray for one another, absolutely, and we also will pray over someone that needs special prayers or a healing, but when the person comes one week and we never see them again, it makes you wonder. Some are seeking Him for an answer at that present time. I am very protective over my Lord and it hurts my heart for Him but I also know those individuals, who use God as a temporary solution, also need my prayers. For they just don't get it. We should run to God in every situation and stay there. He is a relationship, not a religion. He should be present in your life 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, not 1 hour, 1 day a week. He wants to give you so much more but you tie His hands. Stop, reevaluate and change what needs to be changed. Spend time with Him, learn about Him, trust Him in all things, not just some things and you will experience a life changing transformation. Do it today for there is no time like the present, after all He is the greatest gift you will ever receive!
