Who Moved?

Once upon a time, a young man was dating a young woman. If you happened to be driving behind his pick-up truck when the two of them were on a date, you’d see the young lady sitting so close to her beloved on the bench seat that from your car behind them it almost looked like one person.

Fast forward several years – the two got married, had a couple of children, and now if you drove behind them, you’d see the young woman sitting over on the passenger side of the pick-up next to the door and him sitting behind the wheel.

One day she looks over at her husband and says, “Honey, I feel like we’ve grown apart.” 

Her husband looks at her, then looks at the steering wheel – looks at her again and looks at the steering wheel again. Finally, he says, “Who moved?”

It’s like that in your relationship with God. He is always the same – He never moves. He is always available, always loving you, always ready to help, always ready to draw near. Are you the one who moved away? Most of the time we don’t realize it – like it probably did for that young couple. You get busy with life, and other things take up your attention and time.

But one day you look around and find that you’re not as close to God as you used to be. 

He’s still in the same place, waiting for you, but you’ve scooted away. The good news is you can scoot back!
