Well, here I am, the mother of 2 college students and 2 junior high students. As a mother, I will do anything for any one of them. Sit up with them in the middle of the night when they’re sick, go to the store late at night for that item they forgot they needed the next day, put off getting something I need so they can have what they need instead.
Why do I do these things? I love them and I want them to know it.
Now, I think of all my heavenly Father has done for me. Why? He loves me and wants me to know it. He desires a relationship with me.
Sometimes we get so busy or so comfortable with our salvation, that we don’t stay hungry for our relationship with Him. When I spend time with my children and know who they are and they know who I am, then it is easier for them to show me respect and honor. Likewise, when I spend time with my Lord, I know who He is and He knows me. This is when it is easy to give Him the respect and honor He desires.
Do we need a relationship checkup?
Travelling this road together,
