On the Go - July 5, 2010

A relationship should lead you to relate.

Live it
"You don't remember any of them?" I was asked incredulously. She was speaking about people around my age who lived one street across from me when I was growing up. All I could say was, "I guess I wasn't as close to them as you," wondering all the while if my gray matter had sprung a leak. Have you considered we will forget 100% of what we don't remember?

While you trying to ponder that last statement, consider the fact the Bible is full of information about people and their encounters with God. We're know some of it and clueless of others. But you'd think we'd be keenly aware of God's interaction in our own life, but that may not be the case. After experiencing God, I'm afraid too often we go our way and ignore what happened; what we did, what He did and what we should have learned. Without a doubt, sharing good memories with people might be the highest compliment we can pay them. I know this: the older I get, the more I'm convinced the inverse is just as true.

Pray it
I don't want to forget anything You've done in my life, so I can sing Your praises to the end.
