Remember your Anniversary?

Jeremiah 1:5 reads:

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

The reason this is getting posted a day late is that yesterday Cailey and I celebrated our wedding Anniversary. I thought that was a pretty good excuse for this week. Anyway, we had a great time celebrating 18+ years together. We took time to look back over the years and see how our relationship had grown and changed since the time we first met in high school. Then I made the observation that in just two more years we will have spent more of our lives together than before we met. But before 1988 our relationship was non-existent. We have no history prior to that year. Then I thought, well…our parents and siblings have those relationships prior to when we met. Only one person, however, precedes even our parents…and that’s God!

Before I ever had a chance to cry for my parents to comfort me, my God in Heaven knew everything about me. I believe this is why He longs to have a close relationship with us. He knows us so well, and He wants us to know Him too!

This week, may you take some time to remember your ‘Anniversary’ date: the moment that you began your relationship with God. And may you also see how it has changed over time. Wherever you are, He is still right there…waiting to reminisce with you…and to grow into tomorrow together!

Why don’t you take Him to coffee soon…maybe He will buy :)
