Ever wonder about relationships and why they succeed or fail? Ever wonder why people say they are 'seeking a relationship' when really they just want to see what the other has to offer? And when things don't go the way they expect, they just pick up and leave the 'relationship'? Relationships take time and are developed by trial and error in all areas of life: between husband and wife, parents and children, sibling to sibling, member to member, and on and on; but what is a relationship really based on? What does it take to form a true relationship?
Relationship is defined as 'the state in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected; the state of being connected by blood or marriage; the state of where two or more people or organizations regard and behave toward each; and the emotional or sexual association between two people." But whatever the purpose; a relationship takes two to engage in a relationship. So why are so many relationships failing? Could it be that only one is willing to provide what is needed to make a relationship last, and if so, could it be that it was never a relationship to begin with?
Doesn't matter if it's a personal or business relationship; building any relationship upon a solid foundation begins with Christ Jesus at the center for a life-long success in any given relationship. God created you and me for a relationship in which we could walk and talk anytime of the day or night; communicating back and forth. Can you imagine having a relationship with God so intimate that you could enjoy conversations with God, one on one with no interference; just you and God!
Well that's what God longs for; that's what He is seeking. We go to God in prayer for different answers to our needs, but in all our asking do we ever stop to ask Him what we can do for Him; what He seeks from us? Do we ever stop and realize how much He desires for us, His child, to just come and spend some time with Him, not wanting anything in return. After all He does for us day by day, shouldn't we want to spend some time with Him in return?
All through our life we have sought answers, sought help in times of need, sought understanding, sought guidance, sought wisdom from God; and when our answers didn't come or were delayed, we wondered why He didn't answer. But did we ever take time to form a real relationship with Him? Did we set aside uninterrupted time after submitting our requests to listen as in a true relationship?
Well, If you desire a true relationship with God, then I encourage you to begin setting aside time to develop one with God; your Father, your Savior, your Comforter and Guide. If you will begin taking time to build a relationship with Him; I guarantee it will be the greatest relationship of your entire life; filled with joy unspeakable and peace beyond measure!
May you enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, dear friend. God loves you and so do I~~
