Matthew 22:37-40
As a child, did you have a favorite toy? I did. It was a Raggedy Ann doll I got for Christmas. She had flaming red hair, black button eyes, wore a flowered dress with a white cotton apron over it and sported white pantaloons. I loved that doll and took her everywhere. She slept with me at night and was carried on my hip all day. Over time Raggedy Ann began to be left behind, and then one day she just disappeared. After a while I began to look for the once precious doll but she was nowhere to be found. I looked on my bed, in the toy box, finally mom had to get involved and she was found my once treasured doll under the bed. To my horror, Raggedy Ann had black stuff on her face and in her hair. I wept and begged my mom to fix her.
As I thought about loving God, I wondered if maybe some of us relate to God much like I did my doll. At first we take Him everywhere. He is the center of our attention, but with time other things crowd our thoughts and we give our heart to other things. Maybe God gets lost under the bed of other relationships or just under our busy schedule. Is it time to clean out the other things of your life that have covered over your relationship with Christ? Take time today to renew your relationship with Him. Love Him first and most.
Please pray for the ladies who will attend the .MOM event that they will renew their relationship with Jesus and place Him where He belongs in their lives.
