Chapter 644 - Ring ring.

"Hey! Do you want to go out next week? Just spend time together for a few hours..?"

"I can't..I've got to study. You know that."

Sigh.

"What's the matter?Are you alright?"

"It's just that..You don't spend time with me anymore."

"I do! We still talk on the phone almost every other day and.."

"It's not the same! If you talk to your friends on the phone all the time, it's not the same as physically going out with them ,is it? I'm upset about how I've been asking you to go out with me and you always giving me the same response-'I have to study'. You say you need to study but you're off doing everything else but studying. You have time for your friends,why not just some time for me,y' know?"

"When I go out with my friends, I don't have a choice sometimes. They just come and pick me up from my place. How can I say no?"

"You always have a choice."

"Fine. We'll go out next week. I don't have to study."

"That's beside the point! Now you're obliged to go out with me."

"No,I'm serious, let's GO OUT."

"You're not getting the point. It's about sacrifice. I've sacrificed my time for you during my busy schedule and I've sacrificed a lot more too.I only expect the same of you."

This story just hit me like a C-4.

This sounds so much like what my realtionship is like..

..with God.

There's a bit of error if you're relating the ENTIRE conversation to biblical truth,but you get the whole picture.

God didn't just sacrifice SOME time for us, He sacrificed His only son who was innocent and didn't deserve to die at all.

We also have choices to make. Whne we have exams, it feels like we don't have a choice because we NEED to study.

Jesus had a pretty hectic schedule too, if you didn't realize: Heal people, train disciples, eat,sleep,walk a million km to another town, preach, baptize, cast demons out of little children, rasie the dead.

In fact, he was probably the busiest person on Earth then.

Though he was busy, he took time away from everything to just spend time alone with His father.

Also, we can always be praying to God,but reading His word is just as important for growing in Him:)

God is waiting for us in the living room of our hearts.

But we've been given the choice to make the call.

So,what's your call today?
