Have you ever been in a relationship where the other person just does not seem interested and does not put much into the relationship? One does not want to interact very long in a situation with a person like this. There comes a time when you would say, 'enough is enough' and walk away.
Our relationship with JESUS is just like this. HE took a brutal beating and died a horrible death for you. HE came out of heaven to the sinful planet to be born and live here - for you. He watches everything you do and when you do pray HE prays to HIS Father over the prayers you pray to HIM. HE gave you everything beautiful around you-trees, flowers, people to love, mountains, puppies, butterflies...
What do we do in return? We ignore HIM. We are too busy and too proud and too disinterested to even thank HIM. So what will happen with this relationship eventually? Do you think HE will stick around waiting for you forever while you ignore HIM?
HE will be there until you take the last breath, last heart beat, last brain wave. If you have not repented from ignoring HIM and have not started to return this relationship and 'work at it' then HE will be gone for sure. Then HE will remain in heaven and you will end up in hell. That is the reward for ignoring everything beautiful in your life that the LORD gave you. You wouldn't expect to continue forever giving to someone who ignores you and does not want to be around you, do you? Well the LORD whom we are made in HIS own image will not either. Move towards HIM today while there is time.
