Because God loves us so much, He gave us free will. Free will to choose whether to love Him or not, obey Him or not, or simply put choose Him over any other thing in this whole world. I chose to seek Him passionately and make God my number 1 priority. I honestly thought things would be easier since I'm mostly home and I got nothing much to do but to apply. Boy, am I wrong!
Even back here at home, I am battling issues -- like issues of procrastination and sheer laziness! It's very much evident to me now that none could ever rely on one's strength in terms of pursuing the Lord. Even in pursuing and having this deep relationship with Him, it is required that we depend greatly on Him or else it won't just work. Somewhere along the way, either you'll get tempted or you'll get tired of the routine of seeking Him and you'll just fall behind.
It takes more than conscious effort to seek our Lord. It takes more than commitment to Him to follow all His precepts. Point is even in pursuing a relationship with God, as Christians, we must depend on Him so we will never falter in seeking Him. It's a choice we need to make. If I were you, I'd depend on Him now before it gets too late. Choose to completely depend on our Lord Jesus Christ NOW.
