I cheated on God. Have you been cheating on God too?

We truly serve an incredible God. There is so much to learn from the bible and most of us have easy access to a bible each day. What can’t our smart phones do today? We basically have unlimited resources at our fingertips. There are blogs, sermons, and inspirational articles all over the web, but most of us choose to focus on what’s trending instead of what’s life changing and fulfilling. I am no expert on this subject. To often have I gotten caught up in the drama, or the trendy topics that I ignore my bible and quiet time to spend extra time with some sort of social media. The drama becomes addicting and I start cheating on God with my phone. But my soul desperately needs God each and everyday. I need Him to restore me, to heal me, to help me, and to fill me. Without God I can notice negative behaviors in myself that result in me not spending enough time with Him. Can you cut off whatever it is that has been separating you from God? Whether it is your phone, or a bad relationship, or some other addiction.

I think a big problem amongst all generations is that we all think we have time. I hear people saying, “I don’t have to get saved right now I am still young.” Or I hear,” I am still living for me it is all about having fun now I will worry about that God stuff later”. This is a common misconception. The bible says in Matthew 24; 35-36, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. However no one knows the day or the hour when these things will take place, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself, but only the Father.” I can’t stop your from putting your relationship with God on hold? But if you are waiting for tomorrow let me ask you this: what will you do if tomorrow never comes?

We must train our spirit like we train our body. When we want to loose weight we discipline our bodies by exercising and eating healthy. We must also discipline our spirit to say no to things that cause us to stray away from God.  Because we can't see God many of us struggle to develop an active relationship with Him. But like any other relationship it takes commitment and time. When my husband and I started our relationship we communicated a lot. We shared our dreams, our ambitions, and our past failures. We discussed family history, hurtful memories, and so much more. Our relationship with God should start off with constant communication with Him. Talking to God daily about our dreams, our past, and what bothered us throughout the day will help. The difference between talking to my husband and talking to God is that God can heal the wounds of my past and even though I love my husband dearly that’s something he just can’t do. 

If you have been cheating on God?

I encourage you to ask for forgiveness and reenter into a life changing relationship with the only one who can truly heal you, fill you , help you,  and restore you!
