My Reflections

Our relationship with God takes effort.

Take UP Your Cross

Prompt:
How much energy and effort am I putting into my relationship with God?

Answer:
This is a question we should ask ourselves often as this is the most important relationship of our lives. It can so easily get pushed to the back burner. To God be the glory in everything. Unfortunately, we all fall short of his glory often.

I put a lot of energy and effort into my relationship with God. Sometimes I wish I could put even more into it. I want to love him and serve him with all of my being. I am in the Word daily. I pray often. I try to live in constant awareness of his presence in my life. Yet, I could put forth even more effort. God knows I fall short. Thankfully, he is still faithful and ever-present.

“It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.~”― Chuck Palahniuk
Do you agree or disagree?

I can't say that I agree. If we focus on the negative then we are more likely to remember the negative. However, if we focus on the positive, we are more likely to remember the positive. It might take a little more effort on our parts, but we can learn from peace if we put forth the effort.
