“But God never left himself without a witness. There were always his reminders, such as sending you rain and good crops and giving you food and joyful hearts.” Acts 14:17 NLT
Do we live our lives and conduct our actions as though we are constantly living our faith? Or do we tend to live parts of our day as those who have no faith? We can quickly be lulled into living as the world tells us to live. Then, God’s purpose for our lives is replaced by our own agendas of achievement, conquest, and idolatry. Even after we repent and return to God, we may not accept our own sin. We forget that God is in every moment. He has not abandoned us. On the contrary, He has given us countless gifts, each one a precious treasure which reminds us of his love and care.
In writing of my love for Famous, I hope to convey the greater love which is for my God. My joy in having him as a reminder of God’s provision is a priceless gift which renews my spirit, affirms my faith, and motivates me to measure each moment. This is the responsibility of love.
When I am honest, I fail to consistently dedicate each moment to the Lord. Teach me to recognize the gift of each breath, each joy, each love.
