What inspires an emotional state of indifference to settle in and become permanent? It could be a relationship that has lost its appeal. People are perceptive enough to know that a relationship is in trouble and insightful enough to correct problems before a crisis becomes full-blown. Procrastination, however, prevents corrective action from being taken.
A college student realized his marriage was in trouble. The university’s counseling center offered free counseling, but he just couldn’t make the call. He was too ashamed to admit his marriage was a failure. As time progressed, indifference to his wife ended what had begun with so much promise.
Consider some “what if’s”. What if they had not permitted procrastination to evolve into indifference? What if they had permitted God to help them repent of procrastination and indifference and to forgive each other’s neglect? God is willing to give you a clean heart and a fresh start when you reach out to him in faith. Why not do that now?
