Ch. 4: Law of Attraction

Michelle shared about the first time she really saw a shih tzu and realized that she just had to have a dog just like that. She got the name of three breeders and called them. However, only two would talk to her and ultimately there was only one breeder that she ended up dealing with. Even the set back of not being able to get the dog that was her first choice did not stop her. There was only one moment when she had a bit of a pause to think about what she was doing and that was when her friend reminded her that this was a serious commitment. She used that to reflect on the quality of her relationship with God at times. Her comments struck a cord with me and possibly all of us. The comment was that when do we want our relationship with God to be all about the benefits of salvation with none of the commitment of developing a relationship. She then goes on to equate this attitude to how our commitment to God looks to non-Christians. This comment struck a none to happy "I do that" response in me. "This led me to conclude that we as Christians can do a far better job of making the world want what we have. But that means we actually have to enjoy our relationship with God, relish living by faith, and revel in the truths that God shared in His Word. Only with that enthusiasm can we interest others."
