My cat does not care if I want to snuggle or not. If she's in the mood, then my lap better be available and stationary for the time she has allotted me. And if she's not in the mood, then I better just get over myself. I accept it because I love her, and I'm a cat "owner" and I understand how finicky she is and so I don't take it personally.
It hit me the other day though that I am a cat when it comes to my walk with God! I am so on my own time schedule and have made it into this really one-sided relationship. And although I know that God loves me and understands me, better than I understand Juniper and her little idiosyncrasies, that doesn't excuse my behavior. Unlike my cat, I have the ability to reason and perform without only the base of instincts. I know that when I make time for God, things are so much better! So why can't I shake this cat-atude? I'm fallen and working on it. For now, I will try to have moments when I rise above the fur balls and cat nip addictions to make time for my Savior! Thank you Jesus for your patience!
