My Wonderful God

Recently I remembered our Pastor in Oregon, during one of his sermons, say that disappointment is an appointment that does not occur. It expecting something to happen that does not happen or if it does not at the time we anticipated it would a occur. I have often thought of that whenever I have experienced disappointment or when I think I have disappointed God. I sometimes wonder if God is disappointed when I say I will pray every day and I don't, or read His word and don't, or when I know I should do the right thing and don't. Why is that? Why would I disappoint the only One in the universe who would never disappoint me? Am I taking advantage of God's graciousness to me? Am I lazy? Can God be disappointed if He already knows all the choices I will make in my life? Then, I wonder if (and of course the answer is yes) the Holy Spirit is really the one prompting me to "get crackin'?" Now more than ever I believe it's simply my own disappointment in me when I put myself and my needs before God's desires for me. He loves me and wants to spend time with me, but only if I want to...He is so gracious He never demands it, He simply waits for me to come to Him. I love Him and I praise Him for everything He blesses me with, yet I will sometimes delay my time with Him when I know I should really be skipping madly, running joyously into His arms everyday! In the last year since starting our Beth Moore bible studies the most important thing I have learned thus far is this: The more time I spend with Him and the more time I spend learning His Word, the more I do not want to disappoint Him or myself and I realize just how much He loves me and the more my love of God grows! Recently I have realized that I am skipping madly, running joyously to spend time with only Him. Oh how I love you God! Thank you!
