More of You

Lately, I have noticed that there are many things that I am slacking in. One of those things is my relationship with God. I am not saying that it is completely non existent or anything, but I have allowed myself to become so busy that I have neglected to spend anytime in prayer or in scripture. Today in chapel, the speaker said something that really stuck out to me. She said, "just because you go to a Christian school and go to chapel, doesn't mean that you have a relationship with Christ." Relationships are something that need tended to. They aren't things that we can ignore and expect to remain in good shape. Relationships require work and a lot of attention. When we neglect a friendship, maybe when we move away from one another, we find ourselves slipping further and further away from the other person. If I am so willing to pay attention to my relationships with my friends, why can't I feel the same about God? Why can't I put so much time into prayer or reading His word? I convince myself that it is more important for me to study or to rest, but are those things really more important than my relationship with Him? One thing that I definitely need to examine is my priority and commitment to my relationship with Christ. Am I going to actively pursue Him, or am I going to sit back and become idle?
