I have a favorite saying. The saying, from Jerry Goebel, is "The least engaged have the most power in a relationship." This simply means that if you desperately want a relationship to work but the other person doesn't want it to... it's not going to work. Both members of the relationship have to be fully invested in it.
Until recently I had never applied this phrase to my faith. Obviously God is the most engaged member of my relationship with Him. Afterall, God has created me, He sustains me... He even sent His Son to die for me. There is little more that God can do to make this relationship work. The rest is up to me.
It's pretty simple. If I don't take the time to make my relationship with God work... it won't. Peace turtles!
