Moocher

For ye were as sheep going astray;but are now

returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your

souls." (1Peter 2:25 NIV)

He is a little stray kitty that has captured our

hearts and has made our 4 inside kittys want to

get outside and be friends with him.

We named him Moocher. He comes to our house,

and we put food out for him and other strays, but Moocher

gets up in the window and looks in.  My wife Nancy can go

out and he will rub against her leg, but he will only let

her hold him for a few seconds and he starts squirming

and wiggling all over again to get loose only to get on

the ground and start rubbing against her legs again.

With God, many of us are like that. We go looking to

Him for things and get excited but when He wants to

hold us and tell us all is okay we fight and squirm and

want back down again.  WHY? For some it is we feel

we are not worthy, because of our previous sins.

Many of us have wandered out of the way. We have

journeyed to a place unknown spiritually.  We need

to be fed and watered and taken in by the Lord.  Get

into your Bible. Get into a spiritual church or fellowship. 

Get fed and renewed just like our stray kitty, Moocher

has done. Let the Lord recapture your heart.

Do not squirm and wiggle like our little Moocher.  Do not

just come to God when we need something. However go

to Him and dwell in His love and His arms. Let Him take you

and comfort and heal you. Praise Him even when things

are not going great, even when you do not feel like it. Then

dwell in His presence.  Do not be in a hurry to run, but dwell.

Father God take us into your arms and teach us to dwell in

your presence and love.  in Jesus name AMEN...
