Or be generous with our time and money. We can find a position to serve in church. And at the very least, we can pray—especially for those we struggle to get along with. We can learn to love others well through caring for people around us. Finally, let us simply enjoy God and the many gifts He has given us. Do you see blue skies when you look up? Our loving God put it there. Do you feel the warmth of the sun or the cool of the wind?
Do you have fingers and toes? What a reason for gratitude! And of all the gifts we have, what greater gift than God Himself!
He has sacrificed so much, simply for a relationship with us. You never know just how much a relationship with Christians around you might strengthen your own personal relationship with God.
A relationship is a two-way street, right? So, while talking to God is important, listening to him is just as necessary. The truth is, God is always speaking but sometimes we fail to hear him. We can get distracted by so many things including social media, TV, our friends, and even work. I know obedience seems like such a harsh word. But, the Bible actually says that those who love God will obey his words Obeying God has a lot to do with trusting him.
But, let me tell you this, God is trustworthy. You can also trust him with the not-so-pc thoughts and emotions that sometimes go through your heart. God already knows how you feel inside. Tell God whatever you feel inside. Let him help you process them. But, if you want to have a strong personal relationship with God, you have to overcome comparison. I remember back in school, I met up with a group of friends for prayer.
Some of them were praying loud, powerful prayers as they paced back and forth on the floor. But, God just wanted me to pray like me. He wanted to hear my voice, not my best imitation of someone else. Just like prayer, our relationship with God is not a competition. Finally, if you want to develop a personal relationship with God, you should learn how to depend on him.
But, I had to learn how to depend on God for everything when pursuing a relationship with God. This looked like, praying and asking him for guidance before making a decision, asking him to be with me throughout the day before leaving for work, or asking him to give me wisdom in my day to day conversations.
Depending on God is crucial for developing a strong relationship with him. Developing a relationship with God is a process. Like any relationship, a relationship with God is complex. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

God loves His children. He cares for them and values the relationship they share with Him on a daily basis more than any other relationship in this world. So what does our relationship with God teach us about other, less divine acquaintances? Without any hesitation, our relationship with God should define how we perceive those who God brings into our lives. We should see the rest of the world as God does. The people we run across in every circumstance are also made in His image.
They can also love Him, serve Him and live eternally with Him right alongside of us. When we realize that everyone else can connect to God in the same deeply meaningful way we do, it should be easy to find reasons to deeply connect with them. Our appreciation of their soul and its well-being should encourage a relationship that is significant, selfless and sacrificial.
A relationship defined by mutual appreciation of the One who made us is a relationship that will endure. In those instances, it will be a relationship devoid of all the stuff that makes our world unbearable and the people we run across insufferable.

Your trust in Jesus Christ begins an everlasting personal relationship with God.
