Relationships


 
 
 
 
Every once in awhile it's a good idea to take an assessment of your role in  your relationships.  Do you do your part and give or are you a taker and just take whatever you can get?  All relationships require you to give in order to receive from each other. This includes your romantic relationships, family relationships, your friendships and acquaintanceships.  As important as this is in our human relationships, it's even more so in our relationship with God.
Are you one of those people who when life is going good you neglect God because you don't feel you need him?  Or are you one of those people who when trouble strikes you turn away from God because you think he's neglected you?  So many times you hear about the person who has been hurt by their church, a family member, a loved one or life circumstance and they use this as an excuse to turn their backs on God.  How many times have you wanted to use God as a genie?  Letting him out of the bottle to grant your wishes and then returning him to the bottle till you need him again some day.  We need to cultivate our relationship with God through all circumstances both good and bad.  God's love is unconditional.  But it's up to you to receive it and return it.  Don't let your daily life be your priority without Him.  But let Him be your day's priority.  No relationship can survive without communication ... so talk to Him and listen.  Read His word and listen.  Gather with the body of Christ, pray and listen.
The most important response you can give to God is to receive His Son Jesus as your Lord and Savior.  If you have not done this - today is the day of salvation.

 
For he says, I listened to you at the time of my favor.  And the day when you needed salvation, I came to your aid.  So can't you see?  Now is the time to respond to his favor!  Now is the day of salvation! 
2 Corinthians 6:2
(TPT)

There is no power above us or beneath us - no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God's passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One! 
Romans 8:39
(TPT)
