So there was this girl that had this guy friend. And this particular guy friend would text her on the weekends wanting to do stuff and hang out, but during the week he would forget she existed. This went on for 4 weeks. The guy friend would beg for another chance, she'd give it to him, and then he'd go on about his business after they hung out. Every week he would ditch her. Every weekend she would give him another chance.
Let's just say God is the girl in this situation and we are the guy. Isn't that what we too often do to Him? On the weekend we realize Sunday's approaching so we start thinking more frequently about God. Then we come to the realization we've been putting Him off the week before; not even caring if we spend any time with Him. So, on Sunday we fall back in love with the God who loves us unconditionally.
Then the week begins and we slowly push Him away, just like every other week. Until the next weekend comes along and we again realize that He is what we're yearning for.
I don't know the remedy to this problem. I just know that we need to be aware of it if we're guilty of doing it. I know I have been before and I will be again. I think that realizing it's a problem is the first step though. Allowing God to help us fix it is still to come.
Are you "hooking up" with God on the weekends, or do you have a passionate continuous relationship with Him?

I love the provocative title. Might turn some heads, even step on a few toes, but you're right on the money. We can't treat God like that, it's no better than the weekend fling of a guy and girl. Keep it up!
