Only You and God Know: Which one describes you?

Isaiah 29:13

 ¹³ The Lord says: 

       "These people come near to me with their mouth 

       and honor me with their lips, 

       but their hearts are far from me. 

       Their worship of me 

       is made up only of rules taught by men."

I will tell you "I love you" but not really mean it.

I will tell you "I need you" but never reach for you.

I will rarely ask your advice, but never take it.

I will accept your gifts, but never say "Thank You".

I will only call on you when you can do something for me.

I will blame you if anything goes wrong in my life.

I will spend one, maybe 2 hours per week with you.

I will let someone else read to me the letters you wrote to me.

I will use your name in vain.

I will never defend you when others make fun of you.

I will not honor the sacrifices you have made for me.

I will not turn off the TV to spend time with you.

I will not stop the behavior that makes you angry with me

I will continue to live my life my way, in spite of your wisdom.

I will not obey you.

I will not honor you.

I will not respect you.

I will not exalt you.

I will not tell anyone about you.

I will not follow you, unless you are going in my direction.
