Why Do I Do That?

There are these times in my walk when I completely accidentally forget about God. I don't know how it happens, but I know that it does. I was talking with a friend about it tonight. We go through these times where we live our lives as if we are untouched by the blood of Jesus, where we look exactly like the world. In these moments, its as if we have left our best friend waiting at the airport while we are busy with much less important things and when we remember what we are supposed to be doing it is a shock. How the heck are we so careless with someone we care so much about? Like seriously, these moments happen far too often for me to be comfortable, ever.

There is a God who is so different, so much better than anything here. He is Holy. Set apart, worthy and deserving of all things. Then he, knowing I'm gross and will leave him at the airport, comes here to live with me, to die for me, but I still yet I spit in his face and walk away, leaving him at the airport. If I was Jesus, I'd get big boots and kick Rob Sims in the teeth every time I got left at the airport. It is a very good thing I'm not Jesus.

I want God on my mind all the time. I want to be a good servant, and a faithful messenger of the Gospel, at all times.

"'The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God has come near; repent and believe in the good news.'" - Mark 1:14

What if that was my mindset all the time?
