Got Your Attention Yet?

One of two things is true: either God already has your attention or He's trying to get your attention.  Or both. 

Interesting, isn't it, that God would even concern Himself with getting your attention?  I mean, with all the effort it takes to administer the universe, all the needs of people besides you, people more important than you, it'd be easy to think He wouldn't concern Himself with you. 

But He does. I know this by personal experience and I know it's the most unexplainable mystery. 

There are a variety of ways Jesus might try to get your attention. He might use a threatening life event to remind you of your mortality.  He could use a life challenge to remind you that you are not designed to journey through life without Him.  

He might use a broken heart to show you how much He hurts when you're not connected to Him.  He might even let you have everything you thought you wanted so you could realize that none of it fills your soul. 

Jesus knows that the fullness and permanence of life only exist in Him.  He knows that's how you were created; He knows that's Why you were created. 

So if God already has your attention, keep it up.  And if He doesn't yet have your full attention—Listen Up.  His is the calling of a Lifetime.
