I WON’T DELETE YOU

I Twittered and I frittered far into the night,
I checked my email on Yahoo, And talked with friends on chat
I took a peek at Facebook and read the new postings on my wall
And I remembered it was my Bible time…
However, it was nearly time for bed.

Yet I still made time to surf You Tube… and watch the latest viral trend
After that, I Googled searched my own name… to see exactly WHAT would appear
Then I typed in my own address on Google earth
(Where it showed my dog standing in my yard)
And before jumping into bed and turning off the light
I texted my best friend…
Just to make plans for tomorrow.

But my friend wanted me to play video games online..
Admittedly, I fully agreed…because his plan sounded right…
So thus we engaged in mortal, virtual, hand to hand combat
…until the breaking of the morning light.

But very soon after the sun arose I remembered my appointment with God .
Yet, I recalled how merciful and gracious He is .. SO very loving and forgiving…
So I soon realized God would understand all of the stress I have…
Working hard all day long, trying to make my living..
Surely God would understand how playing video games and surfing the web
Calms me down and helps me unwind..
I reasoned that God probably would not mind if He and I simply rescheduled..
So I penciled Him in on another day and time.

(But way down deep in my heart…I was thinking
“Still,realistically… This is the third day….
And the third consecutive night that I’ve done the exact same thing…
( I sure hope that the Lord God won’t think that He’s being ignored..
…I don’t need to get on His bad side…)
And if He’s really paying attention and notices me repeating ..
I’ll have to man up and inquire:
“YOU won’t DELETE me, will You, Loving Lord… from Your Heavenly Roll Book?”

GOD’S REPLY:
“NO, I’ll never DELETE you or forsake you!

But I really think that you need to plug in..
To connect with My Power Supply..for at least a part of every day ….
So that YOU will never be caught without My strength, My wisdom
OR maybe experience a faith shortage ( or worse…. a total power outage!)

Therefore, always make YOUR relationship with ME “Numero Uno…”**

(**..And speaking His Majesty a mano, do you recall these 2 Bible verses: “Have no other gods before me.” and “No human can serve 2 masters….” )

YET…… it is all up to YOU to make your own mature choices…

But I do hope that YOU will value spending enough quality time with ME…and will honor Me by making YOUR and MY abiding relationship your Number One Priority!
Besides…. I miss connecting with you!”

XO,
Your Heavenly Father, Abba
