Spiritual Laziness

Spiritual Laziness

This is after a few calls yesterday and nearly three hours on the phone.  Spiritual laziness, like any other lazy behavior, is grossly unacceptable by most standards because it is comprehensibly negative.  There is nothing to be gained by being deliberately lazy.  I never met a lazy person I liked, mostly because like other anti-Christ like behaviors it is used as weapon.

This is the way God explained it to me.  “Spiritual laziness creates a sincere disconnection between you and me, one that begins as a gap and ends as an enormous canyon.   Just as any other neglected relationship suffers so will ours and I cannot teach you my ways if you don’t care that I exist.  I created you with a purpose and an intention that will far surpass anything you could ever dream up for yourself and I love you.”  When God makes Himself known to you and you are ready to be known by Him, spiritual laziness is beyond insulting.  We all relationship, either at work or church as well as other venues and depending on how ambitious we are in those relationships will ultimately define their success rates.  Spiritual ambition is my goal now and it’s not about being the greatest part of who I am or even the perks that come along with knowing the Creator of the universe intimately, though I can assure you, the benefits are limitless!  God makes me better and if I am better so are those I invariably affect, not infect.  I heard yesterday several times, is spiritual neglect real?  Does spiritual neglect have any true consequences?  Of course, look around you and not in a way of judgment but rather in way of reflection.  What are we growing? Is it greatness or because of a neglected relationship with God, mediocrity?  God shares His life with us in a way that causes us to redefine the way we behave, the way we think, the way we choose.  “If you cannot choose well, you will not be well and nether will those you come in contact with.  I want you to understand this.”  This is what God shares with me.  One other thing before I move on that I believe equally important.  Our ability to grow in God is infinite there will never be a stopping point.  So don’t let another day go by without saying, in the quietness of you self, hello God.
