But, then, this morning when I was contemplating my own life and where I am at the current moment this thought popped into my head – when we cut to the chase and at the end of day – don’t all we really have is God.  So life really is about this film project – God & Me.

To further illustrate this point, God is Marley (the dog) in this metaphor.  Like the photo below, I try my best to put God on a leash and direct his path.  However, thank goodness He has my best interests at heart and truly is the one in control of my life.

Who's Directing Your Path?

But, I’m stubborn and want my own way – just like He does.  I get mad when he’s tearing up my life and cleansing me of things that aren’t so good for me.  That hurts.  Or how about when he wanders off and plays with others. That makes me feel alone and devalued.  Yeah life give us bad times, but it also gives the good.

How about those times that He gives you love.  When scared He comforts you.  When He sends a friend or a note or Facebook connection your way.  When the money does come through. When the medical report is positive.  When He takes care of you when unemployed.  When you read His word and just the right scripture is there and soothes your soul.

When was the last time God licked your face?

To be truthfully honest here, my life isn’t how I thought it would be.   But, even though it not what I wanted it to be, I do trust that God knows best.  He has kept me on a short leash (amen!) and for that I am thankful.  I guess I just need to relax my hands a bit more as He guides me through life and not be so quick to choke Him.

For after all life is about God & Me.

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16-17″
