I was talking to God about a problem, then another, and then one more. I wondered how long it had been since I told Him how thankful I am? I couldn’t remember. Not a good sign.
I am a foul-weather friend. I thought to myself.
Not that I have ever heard of a foul-weather friend, but I believe that is what I have been. A fair-weather friend hangs around only in good times, so I suppose a foul-weather friend lingers in the bad times.
Do I mainly spend time with God in the bad times, coming to ask for something or to complain awhile? I don’t want Him to think, “Here comes Dara. Wonder what’s wrong now?”
So, I am working on this. No more foul-weather friendship with God for me. I’m going to spend more time thanking Him and simply enjoying His company. I think He’ll like it. Maybe when He sees me coming, He will think, “Here comes Dara. I’m so glad to see her.”
I believe God wants to be included in every part of our lives, the good and the bad times. No matter what we are doing, He wants to share life with us.
Fair-weathered, foul-weathered, or forever-faithful friend? I like the sound of forever-faithful and I bet God does too.
