Ghosting is a common term used in the dating world where you end a relationship without actually ending it. You block them on social media, you avoid them at all cost, and you have no contact with them. When I think about faith I think that we do the same thing. We “ghost” God but we rely on Him only when we need Him.
Our relationship with God shouldn’t be something we block when we are with friends or avoid. It should be loud! It should be seen from a mile away! you should be able to tell that you love Jesus!
Why are we so ashamed of having a relationship with God? Especially in college. It’s hard being surrounded by thousands of choices that do not lead you to the feet of Jesus. We are not forced by our parents to go to church or to pray at dinner. When Christ isn’t the center of your life it’s hard to have everything fall into place.
Despite the number of times we Ghost him he constantly has his hands wide open waiting for us! He wants nothing more than for us to be His! How awesome is that?
Although it’s easier to ghost God than it is to have an explicit relationship with Him it’s worth it! Oh it’s so worth it! We constantly have someone who has moved mountains for us! He has done so much for us with so much love!
We need to stop “ghosting” God and not be ashamed of having a relationship with Him! Once we do we will never be happier!
"God’s love never fails." (Psalm 136:1-26)
