If the truth was revealed, I truly believe that all people desire to be in a loving and genuine relationship. To desire such a union, is as natural as inhaling your next breath. But, because of the ill-fated circumstances that has occurred in the past, we have opted to forfeit the possibility of ever engaging in such a bond again.
Unfortunately, the one and true relationship that suffers the most, is our relationship with the Heavenly Father. Due to these ‘life challenges’ called ‘circumstances’, we oftentimes bailout and abandon God; when in essence, He has been quite present in the midst of all of our challenges. According to Psalm 34:19, – A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all. God IS faithful; He has always BEEN faithful and N E W S F L A S H…’He will ALWAYS BE faithful, because He’s God!’
Great relationships require a great deal of effort on both parts and do not just haphazardly occur. It will require more than a mere desire and a wish. To get the most out of a thing, you must put the most into it.
Quality time spent in the presence of God will manifest quality results. When we learn what pleases Him and brings Him honor, our lives should exemplify what we know about Him. When He hurts, we should hurt; what He values, we should value; because when two hearts are fused together, beating in unison; it is impossible to separate the one without destroying the other. Romans 8:39b – ‘… nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God…’
Know that God loves you and there is no greater love or relationship than the one with Jesus Christ, our risen Savior. He’s waiting for your return, with open arms!
He’s not mad at you; He’s mad about you and wants nothing but the best for you! (Jeremiah 29:11).
