Laziness is so prevalent in our society today. Many days we, as teenagers, sit around and do nothing. We put little effort into our work at school. We go to church and listen half-heartedly and by the time we leave, forget what the message was about. So often, Christians wonder why God feels so far away and why we can't seem to know what He wants us to do. Perhaps if we studied more about Him, reading his Word and spending time in prayer and simple conversation with God, we would come closer to Him.
When we do our part, we will understand and see what we have been missing. Having a relationship with God is the most rewarding and exciting journey of this life. I read in a book once, that said, "He passionately pursues you and me to sweep us off our feet and convince us of his incredible love." We serve an amazing God. He wants us to get to know Him; so do it! When we realize how incredible God really is, and I don't think we can even understand that fully, we will wonder why it took us so long to get to know Him more.
Never stop getting to know God; there is always more to learn. :)
