Empty driving
So I went to wash my car today and decided to go for a walk around town. Walked around for about twenty minutes then went and sat at the place I parked my car for about another thirty. I sat right off the main road where highschool students drive up and down for hours. At first while sitting there I prayed for the people in those cars, but then my heart began to wonder why no one even stopped to see if I who I was or if I was okay. Nothing. Some people would drive by and stare me down, others would just glance then quickly look away, and then some did not even take notice of anything around them except the road in front of them. Then sitting there praying Father pressed on my heart how so many times He feels the same way. People "stare" or worship Him at church but then go on. People glance at Him or just sit in the pew wondering if they should care, no that would be to hard they decide. Then there are those who go to church thinking about whats for lunch, what they have for homework, or something else like that. Then Father took it on a bit more personal level. He was saying...."how many times do you look at me from a distance never daring to come closer. You see what I have done for you, yet you still glance at Me wondering if you should stop your daily life and trust me all the way. Then how many times do you become caught up in things of this world that do not even matter and not even look my way. You go down your own path doing your own thing. I am sitting here waiting for you to come sit with Me. I am waiting for you to stop living your own life and join the work I have laid out for you." I challenge you to do the same. So lets put the car in park and join Dad on the sidewalk!
