1 Corinthians 1:9 (New International Version)
God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with
his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
She was waiting for her mom there in the drugstore,
standing near the cash register with her eyes glued to the candy shelves. She
was maybe 5 or 6. For that little girl, paradise was just a few feet and a few
dimes away.
Different times, different things. When we are little we
want our bottle. Grade school we want to only be with our friends. Teenagers
want romance, and ... a car! Then we want a job, a home, a family. And a
fulfilling life. Happiness. Security in a changing world. Retirement
investments. Good health.
Throughout all our ages and stages we want a LOT of
different things. But God always wants the same thing. Us.
In the Bible, God tells us that He created us for
fellowship with Him. He relentlessly pursues. We are restless in our spirits
until we are in that personal relationship with Him.
He won’t give up, and He won’t give in. He will continue
to lovingly gaze upon you as if you, yourself, are those candy shelves.
Dear Lord we thank You that You want to have fellowship
with each of us. We pray that we would each seek for that fellowship with You.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
