Grayce( my youngest niece) and I were sitting on the couch watching Franky play the Wii, which was really interesting because he loves playing the Legos Game and she said something that was just really cool. I have to give you a little bit of background info, everyday she drives me CRAZY because she constantly asks me when we are going to church, who will be her bible school teacher and what is she going to wear and if I am going to be her teacher this time? Literally EVERYDAY, she bugs and bugs and bugs! It drives me up a wall sometimes to where I am to the point where I say NO we aren't going to church(because its like Monday or Tuesday) and I don't feel like explaining to a 3 year old the process of the days of the week! Anyways, we were sitting on the couch and because Franky was sick that morning we didn't go to church but she started bugging again. And I said no we couldn't go because Franky was sick and she said " but then we can go!" I started laughing!
But have you ever had a DUH moment? I have been getting those a lot lately. I have been told so many times by my elders, deacons, my preacher and some of my disciplers(people that encourage me and study with me) that my walk with God needs to be genuine, love-filled, and authentic. I should be excited to come into the presence of God! Sometimes, I looked at going to worship was a chore because of the kids I take and teaching class that it was starting to become blah, ya know! It took Grayce to make me realize that I need to be just as excited and ready to go to worship as she is. Even though I may get boggled down with life's struggles and worries, I need to enter the presence of a God because Grayce showed me that a true love is to be excited about it all the time, no matter what.
I need to have that excitement and love for God because I mean, He is GOD! He is amazing. So next time I start to think about "Man, I HAVE to go to church!" I need to change my attitude and say "Man, I have the privilege to go the church and worship God without being killed for it!"
Matthew 18:3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
My prayer for you, that read, is that God gives you the excitement like Grayce to go to church and be in the presence of God wherever you are, no matter what is happening! Have a blessed week!
