Where is God? Where are you?

A morning read
gives pause to think,
reflect
:
“Technology is
the power
with which the earth
reaches
for human beings
and
controls them.”
Wow…

We are being ruled
The world rules us
We do not have
a one-on-one relationship
with The One
with the Lord Jesus

We do not see
the world as God’s creation,
but as something we created.

We are the controllers.
But we are not
We merely think we are
and we do our utmost
to get
what we believe
is ours, belongs to us,
at every turn

without seeking guidance
from the Lord above
without following
His instruction for our living

We die – inwardly
We are lost
and afraid
We want what once
we shared.
It is fading
Why?!

What is important
What do you do
to bring what matters more,
what matters most
back
What can you do
Where do you look
How can you feel different
How can you be
what you want to be
What are you willing to change
What are you willing to do
for  yourself
for each other
for your children
for all your loved ones
How do you respond
when you are worn out
both
working long hours
at home
or away from home
for each other
for the family
for a better life

Do you know God
Do you have an ongoing relationship
with Him
Yes, but no

Bring yourself back
Ask His forgiveness
Remember when
you accepted Him as your Lord,
your Savior
Remember when
He was your first love
Remember when
you would do anything for Him
Have you lost that
Have other things crowded Him out

He needs to remain
He is the grounding wire
He is our foundation
Our lives
past present future
depend on Him

He is our All in All
All the Time

Not when
it might appeal to us

He waits
He wants you back
He desires the relationship
He misses the relationship He once shared
with you

Where are you
You can do all things
through Him who gives
you strength

Your strength wanes
Your tiredness escalates
You say things
spout off words that bring pain
You no longer care
You want it all to end
You want peace

At what price
will you pay
to have it your way
and will it be enough
will you have the peace you crave

Where oh where
have we come
where are we going
where is God
where are you?
