I’m sure you’ve read 100’s of blog posts about dogs and how they are always by your side, loving, faithful, etc. I know I have. But what struck me the other day was just how much faith my dogs have in me.

You see each morning when I get up my dogs are right beside me, following me around the house, never leaving my side, under foot. Sometimes it a bit annoying, but for the most part it’s cute… well as cute as a 120 lab taking up the whole doorway when you’re trying to get out…Seriously though, as pet owns our dogs rely on us for everything; food, shelter, protection, everything and in return they love us unconditionally. They don’t ask for much except more food, potty breaks and love/companionship.

When I compare my dog’s commitment to following me verses how I follow God there is NO comparison… I fall WAY short..

No matter how many times my dogs make me angry and I have to discipline/yell at them, within seconds they are back following, wagging their tail wanting to play..willing to submit, follow, love and serve…

It’s so difficult to submit, follow, love and serve as God wants us to do. But yet every time we fall up; God is always there loving, caring and providing for us…

Why is it so hard to just submit, pick up our cross and follow God; wag our tail and love God as he loves us.… Sometime I just wish I could have the faith like my dogs..
