Crushed By Time

On a sunny summer Singapore afternoon, Virtual Girl and Squirrel Boy decided to commit themselves to a relationship. They initially enjoyed moments of peachy happiness, but cracks soon started to surface. Virtual Girl had involved herself in too many other things, letting them take priority over her relationship. In an effort to still make room for Squirrel Boy, she attempted to slot him in to different aspects of her life; he was always there, but not necessarily with her. Eventually, Squirrel Boy could no longer stand being second in Virtual Girl's life and gave the ultimatum...

The questions, then, to ask ourselves are: Are we guilty of crushing God into powder and strewing him into our lives as and when we see fit? Do we only involve Him when we need Him (or when we feel like cutting His throat)? Are we balancing our lives and setting aside enough time to build our relationship with God? Is God The priority in our lives?

I'd think many of us are fully guilty of not placing God as a top priority, very often stifling or blocking out his presence in our lives. During this season of Lent, let us all reflect on our relationship with God and find ways to continually grow closer to Him.
