My wife and I were woken Sunday morning by our children with May Day gifts. That’s right, May Day gifts. My first ever May Day gift.
Why was it so special? Because no one told them to do it. It was totally out of the ordinary, unexpected, and one hundred percent was showing us love.
Nunahnunahnunahnah …… what a revelation.
Our children took the initiative, without being prompted, to show us that they love us.
Why can’t most of the human race understand that God wants his children to go out of their way to show Him that they love Him?
I could end the post right here, because that really is the point. We are given tons of scenarios like this in our lives so we can understand things better and relate.
I know many people who consider themselves Christians who don’t put any effort into a relationship with God. Let’s reflect on that. How can this be if they really care about God and Christ like they say they do?
If you say you’re a baseball fan and never watch a game on television, go to the ballpark, or listen on the radio, are you really a fan?
If you say you love country music and never listen to country music, do you really love it?
Isaiah 29:13 – 13 “These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men.
Mark 7:6 – 6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:
“‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
Actions speak louder than words. Talk is cheap.
However for those who try to make a show and has a heart that is not sincere, He is not fooled by them either.
If you love the Lord, make Him the center piece of your life. Show Him that you love Him.
