T.G.I.F.

Not writing about Friday today.   Bet the title had your mind going in a different direction! :)   No, I am thinking of T=he  G=ift  I=s  F=orever.    Friday is the day that the well-know TGIF brings to mind.  As I finish up the work from a busy week, I am so tempted to say TGIF!  But I would really like to end with a positive and upbeat tone, so . . . I'm going to try to focus more on Friday as being the day the Lord died for me and remember that T=he  G=ift  I=s  F=orever!   It is such a simple way of bringing to my mind the great faithfulness of Christ to me.   Forever is a long time.  Forever never ends.   Forever cannot be measured.   Forever cannot be thrown away.   Forever sticks to the ribs of my soul and leads me to the prayer of gratitude for such a great gift.  


Commitment to someone "Forever" seems to be very difficult for people today.   It is good for me to remember how committed God is to me, no matter what. 

If God withheld love from me for even one day, how would my life change?    What if I needed to be with God in prayer tonight and God just wasn't available?  What if I had no way to reach God or to talk with God?  What if God became tired of me and wanted our relationship to be a thing of the past?   I would probably shout to the sky "You're not God!   My God is faithful.  My God loves me.  My God wouldn't do that to me!"

T=he  G=ift  I=s  F=orever!


Thank you, God.   I pray for the grace to be faithful too.
