Maybe feeling like i am being ignored is God's way of showing me how it feels for Him when i don't spend time with Him.
Maybe the disconnect and the void i feel is how He feels when i offer my half hearted prayers, busy making noise with repetitive utterances.
Maybe when i sometimes feel jealous seeing a group of friends together in joyful spirit, its how God feels when i prioritise everything but Him, only when things don't go as well as planned on my priority list, it's then when i turn to Him to fix things for me.
Does God ever feel used and not cared for?Does God feel lonely for us to converse with Him full heartedly?
Does God ever long for our worship, our prayers and requests?
Does He ever wonder why we are so distant and cold, so uncaring and unkind?
Rejected does He ever feel?
Snubbed is how my mom maybe feels when we don't run to her for everything anymore, because even when we can do things for ourselves, mothers always want to help.
Maybe that is how my friends also feel when i disconnect with them without reason.
The relationship puzzle is never complete, we have to pour into each other always.
All relationships in general are like folding a fitted bed sheet, at times when we are more focused and put a lil more effort, we fold it better, but most times we are sloopy and leave it so-so, folded but in a shabby way.
Much like our day to day friendships with parents or with friends, or co-workers and even church mates, they are never perfect, they only gets better as we grow older and are more attentive.
Relationships, even the one we have with God, are like a Rubik's Cube. A Rubik's cube can be fine, we buy it figured on all sides, but we mess it up and i don't know why but it's as if we prefer the mess cause we never fix it back, only a select few can.
Our relationships, even the one we have with God, are not perfect, and are not all a mess but we create the mess further for the worst with the near to zero commitment, not praying, not worshipping, telling lies and covering up, with not fully communicating, leaving a lot to the other person to conclude, giving love half heartedly, giving divided attention, not being truthful, genuine and not paying attention.
Keep in mind that how we feel at times, might be the same as how other people feel when we do to them what we dont want done to us. Don't neglect others to not be neglected, don't shame others not to be shamed back, don't undermine or disrespect others to not be undermined and disrespected.
Remembering that, maybe the way we feel is how others also feel when we do to them what we dont want being done to us.
In the end all that i am hoping for are more meaningful connections, deep and honest affection shared, if possible over communication, genuine love and near perfect relationships. I hope for more well folded fitted bed sheets, reality perfect bonds, better figured out Rubik's Cubes and better looking life puzzles. I want us all to always start, progress and finish all with God being our helper and strength.
