I wish God was more like duct tape.
Once you adhere duct tape to something it absolutely sticks and getting away from it is hard. Even when it is removed it leaves a residue.
God isn’t that kind of sticky – at least in my life.
I find it so easy to go from moments of great spiritual intimacy with God to moments where I almost seem to forget about Him. I really hate that. I want to stick to Him. Maybe my point of view is wrong – maybe I don’t get it. (Actually, I am sure I don’t get it but this is just in a whole new way.) Maybe the point is that He is like duct tape; that He does stick to me and that He cannot be removed. Maybe I just need to remember that when I am forgetting. This makes sense to me. I am not sure it makes sense to anyone else.
