dear inspiree; Last night my Youth Pastor preached on having a relationship with God. His text came out of the book of Matthew. The text says that you must seek God first, than after that is done, THAT is when God will give you the things you desire for. My Youth Pastor said that it is when you seek God first that your relationship with him begins to grow and prosper. And having a relationship with him will help you to be able to make better choices and decisions. It will help you through hard times with family, friends, your church and in general.
I will admit, right at this very moment I do not believe i have a very strong relationship with God, but I want one. I know i have a connection with him, but i need more. And I am taking action and praying and talking to God more because for a relationship to work, you have to talk. Think of it this way, if you were at work one day and you saw this very attractive male or female in a cubicle across from your’s and he or she turned and said hello and you replied back the same than you just stopped talking to him or her. You might have felt a little connection but would you actually create a relationship out of a few hellos? Probably not. You would have to talk to him or her and get to know him or her, how he or she works, what his or her personality is. Thats the same as GOD! You have to talk to him daily for him to ever really know you. not just 1,2,3 times a week. Daily prayer is vital to having a successful relationship with God.
I am extremely blessed to have a Youth Pastor like I do today and my whole church in general. I love and appreciate them all so so much. I don’t know where i would be today without them all.
On an end note, i hope someone reads this and is inspired to get in touch with God for the first time or maybe get BACK in touch with God. God is great. :]
Love Always,
Christina
