God is always there, Yet Most Neglected 

Think about this for a moment: God never leaves us. Even when we turn away from Him, chasing after material things or people, and getting consumed by sin, God remains constant. We may wander, but when we come back, He always accepts us.

I had a reflection the other day as I thought back to my childhood. One thing that has remained constant in my life is the presence of God. I have made friends who have come and gone, fallen out with people, and experienced failed relationships and jobs that ended. Yet, through it all, God has always been there for me.

Now, consider the other side of the coin. God is the one whom many people give the least time and attention, even though He is the only constant in our lives. People pursue fleeting relationships with others who may let them down, investing so much effort into these connections, while neglecting the relationship with the one who is always there.

We allow ourselves to be betrayed and continue to chase after those who hurt us. We pursue wealth that can be gained today and lost tomorrow, yet we neglect the only true constant. How can we treat ourselves so unfairly? Why do we feel comfortable abandoning the best relationship we can have?

Honestly, God deserves better from us. He deserves a strong and consistent fellowship with His children. He is always willing to welcome us back if we choose to return to Him. But let’s ask ourselves: why do we ever leave? Where exactly do we go?

Micah 6:6 states that “what God requires is for us to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with our God.” Is He asking for too much?

This message challenges us to reflect on our lives. How do we treat the God who is always there? Are we engaging in humble fellowship with Him, or have we abandoned Him to chase after things and people that do not last?

It is easy to say that we love God, but do our actions reflect that love? When we love someone, we spend time with them, right? It’s simple to declare, “I’m a Christian; I go to church,” but this isn’t just about attending church. Do we make time for God out of the 24 hours in our day? How much of that time do we genuinely dedicate to Him?

Remember, at the end of our lives, we will have to account for everything we’ve done with the time God has given us. How can we face Him if we have spent the least amount of our time with our Maker, the very one who gave us that time? Reflect on this and judge for yourself.
