Aug 31                                                        The Power of God’s Word
This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. – Colossians 1:21(NLT)
WHAT SEPARATES US FROM GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
What is in your heart and mind?
Do you see God in others or are you blind?
When you think about only of your own interests
You do not follow his commands and what he says
If your thoughts are pre-occupied with desires and evil
You are surely his enemy and an ally of the devil
Is your life aligned to his will or do you please your own?
God wants you to be with him he never wants you to shun.
Do you know what separates us from God? Our evil thoughts and selfish desire separate us from his love. Why does he want us to constantly be with him? Just like two lovers who don’t want to be separated from each other, God expects us never to be separated from him. He made us for his own consumption, not for our own. That is why there is suffering. When we do not conform to God’s design for us, we are breaking his heart. It is like divorcing him. How is your relationship with God? Are you blissful in your marriage with him? Are you separate or divorced from him?
PRAYER
Lord, remind me never to part from you.
REFLECTION
What things do you need to give up for God?
