SHAMED BY A CAT

Many, many years ago my wife came home 

with a cat one time.  She was an animal lover.

She has lived out her life and is gone.  But,

that poor old cat is still here.

The cat above is not it.  The poor old, old, old

cat that is here is so old and straggly I would

be ashamed to show it's picture.  It would look

like the cat that belonged to Adam and Eve.

But the point is this.  That poor old thing

wants to be with me.  I have to watch every

time I go through a door that I do not trip

over it.  I have to be careful how I sit or

it will jump up in my lap.  If I move it thinks

it has to mover with me.

If I wanted to be with God the way that cat

wants to be with me, God would probably

send a fiery chariot to get me like he did for

Elijah.

If I wanted to be with God the way that cat

wants to be with me I would be a man after

God's own heart like David was.  Perhaps 

then God could use me as he did David.

David said it best;

"As a deer longs for streams of water,

so I long for you, O God.

I thirst for God, the living God.

When can I go and stand

before him?"

(Psalms 42:1,2 NLT)

GOD, GIVE ME A HEART FOR YOU.
