How deep is your love...do you take everything to God or just the big stuff? Do you plead with Him to help you land a job, but not talk to Him about how to organize your garage or keep your home in order? Do you ask for help in developing healthy relationships to making healthy food choices? Do you think He cares about the new color you put in your hair or the new iphone you want? I'll tell you, "yes He does," God cares about everything you care about. He knows every hair on your head, gave you a unique fingerprint, made good plans for your life, ordered every step of yours & knows your name...God cares about every tiny detail of your life!
Maybe you were raised to handle the little things by yourself & not bother adults, so you approach God the same way & do not want to bother Him with the little things. Listen closely…anything you take to God is little! Your biggest problem is little & your smallest problem is little-He reigns over all you see & don't see & holds it together in His hands; nothing escapes Him! God cares about every detail of your life! Think about this-God wants a personal & intimate relationship with you. An intimate relationship is familiar, close, vulnerable, private & deep-because everything is shared, right? That's what God wants with you! He will stay up all night to talk if you want. How can you have an intimate relationship with God if you only take some things to Him? The answer is, "you can't."
And you know what else? Your intimacy with God is reflected in your intimacy with your loved ones. Do you only take some things to those you love because you don't want to bother them? To the extent you're open with God is the extent you're able to be open with those you love. As you expose your heart to God & see that He approves all of you then you're able to have the courage to open up to those you love because you already know you're approved. How deep is your love? (Mt 6:11, 6:33, 10:29-30, Jer 29:11, Col 1:17) 3/13/13LMM #howdeepisyourlove #askGod #Godcareaboutyou #Godisinterestedinyou #christianinsightforlife
