DENNIS
Good morning. One evening, as I watched my two grandsons play together, I noticed they were having a hard time sharing their toys. One would start to cry if the other even played with a toy that was not being used. At an early age, kids express a very innocent, but selfish attitude. As adults, our selfish behavior is not so innocent. In fact, adult are aware of what we do. Self-centeredness is one of the main reasons we willingly separate ourselves from God. Think about it, how often do strive for the bigger and better deal in life, instead of God? Life becomes more about what we can gain rather than giving all over to the Father.
When our eyes are on material things, we can’t see eternal things. The Old Testament prophet Isaiah noted this condition when he wrote, “Your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God.” Today, let us take a look into our lives and see what is separating us from living fully with God. Then, let us turn our eyes from them and place them upon Jesus Christ.
I’m Dennis Gossett, for Central, inviting you to come and be a part of our community, as we seek to live in full connection with God and one another.
