NO MORE SELFIES - THE DAY I STOPPED CROPPING GOD OUT THE PICTURE

11/3/2017

Do I really want God's help?
The obvious answer is yes, yet my actions don't always align with my beliefs.  I act alone, not even considering God in my plans.  God is an afterthought until things fall apart. Then God gets the blame for my faith not being validated.  It is like getting mad at a friend because you got in a car accident but they didn't even ride with you.  

It is so easy to get caught up in what you do that you don't realize that you are ignoring the One that gave you the inspiration.  We can make the excuse that we are too busy but we make time take "selfies".  We have plenty of time for what we view as important yet we say God is the most important thing in our life. We don't want to miss out on anything but having a deeper more intimate relationship with God. Our "selfies" become our idol that keep us from seeing God's presence working through our life.  God is with us but we don't know it and because of our ignorance we can't appreciate Him. 

I don't want to be ashamed of God.  I don't want to live with God out of the picture.  I don't just want God's help, I want His presence.  I want to walk with God.  I want to talk to God.  I want to be a part of God's life. I don't have all the answers and that is okay; God does.  I don't know how my life will turn out but God does.  I want to be fully integrated in God's plan.  Honestly I don't know how I can change how I have been without God's help.  I need God every step of the way.

God I just want to be a part of your picture. 
Help me....
