When we
were first introduced to religion and the worship of God - our decision on
how and when to worship - for the most part - was made for us by our parents.
We automatically followed what they did - questioning nothing and
accepting everything. Then we matured - grew up and became adults ourselves -
and started questioning. We wanted answers to questions previously unasked -
hearing the answers we decided to accept or reject. For many of us
- rejecting the faith of our parents was a given - we were better
informed - more enlightened - or so we thought. Drifting in an
ocean of confusing theology only made the decision process more difficult - so
we continued drifting until
the Island that is God - was so far away - that many gave up - drowned in that
ocean of confusion. Thankfully for us - although we left God behind - He never
abandoned us. All our lives Jesus has been there - walking with us
- patiently waiting for us to make our decisions - holding His breath when we
chose poorly - clapping with joy when we chose well. Today Jesus is still there
- waiting for you - waiting for your next decision - waiting for you to walk His
way.
