However, after I watched this video it made me think about the other fake faces we all put on every day. You know, the one where we all have such perfect lives and a perfect relationship with God. I thought about my Dad's cancer and how life is short, unfair, full of illness, and all the yucky things. We just don't want to talk about it because we live in denial that maybe, just maybe there is a God who cares and can help. Maybe He can see everything we're doing. Maybe He knows our every thought. THAT'S SCARY! If God knows everything I've done how can He love me? How can a perfect God send His ONLY Son to DIE FOR ME?!?! And Why? We live in a messed up world with messed up people. And He loves every single one of us so much that He sacrificed His Son so that we can one day have a much better life with Him.
I hold on to this truth whenever I'm going through tough times. Like now with my Dad having cancer, knowing that His life could be shorter than we want. These are the times I CLING to God. Asking others for prayer, asking God for mercy. But what about when everything is calm and fun? How do I treat God then? I forget about Him. I think I have everything in control and oh yea, thanks God for your many blessings. WHAT?!? Why don't we treat God like our best friend? I tell my best friend everything! The good, the bad, the ugly. We laugh together and cry together. We trust that we will always be there for one another when something goes wrong and when we just want to have fun. Why don't I laugh with God? I can. He has a sense of humor you know. I mean look at some of the weird looking things He created. LOL! I want to have a relationship with God where I cling to Him in good times too. Tell Him of what silly things my daughter did today and laugh together. Thank Him for more than just "blessings". GET REAL with God. Have an actual conversation with Him. He wants that.
And all this from a video on Facebook. :)
God is so good.
