The
idea that God is interested in you may be difficult to believe and accept. He
not only has an interest in his creation, but he pursues you for his purpose so
your days on the earth will be worthwhile. What does he ask in return? To love him
with all your heart, soul and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.
This command is not easy because it requires identifying
and analyzing your values. Someone told me her priorities were her career first,
then family, her social life, and finally God. Then she was diagnosed with a life-threatening
disease. Confined to convalescence for an extended time, she was forced to
rethink her purpose and goals for her life.
Identifying
and analyzing your values may result in life-changing decisions. That God is
interested in you and will pursue you is validated by Jesus' words, "I
have come that you might have life and have it abundantly." To accept that
God is interested in you may require rearranging your values to include his love
and purpose for you.
