God loves us so much that he gave his son, Jesus Christ, so we could be in relationship. God will never leave or forsake you. No matter what crisis or hardship you go through, he is here for you.
People come and go in your life but God is consistent and constantly there for you. He loves you and directs your path. He desires that you get to know him, personally and enjoy his presence in your life. He wants you to cultivate close relationship with him, where you listen to him and learn the desires of his heart. So often, we recite our laundry list of wants, needs and desires, without waiting for his response. Ask the Holy Spirit to make the Bible speak to you, as you read it.
Conversations with friends and family are a joy. God, our Father, Creator, Life Sustainer, Love, Light and so much more, desires our mind, will and emotions (heart). Worship him with your whole heart. He calls us to stop and spend time listening and learning his loving heart, for each one of us. Pause, stop and listen to the voice of Daddy God today. He is calling you into a deeper close relationship.
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. (John 10:27 NIV)

There is a saying “It’s not about how Christian you look from the outside. It’s about your personal relationship with God.”
Your words speak volumes this morning. May we all give Him back some of the time He blesses us with each day.

As much as I know this is true I’ve been struggling lately because I’m angry with God and I’m having a hard time getting over it. He took someone away from me who I love very much. I wrote a post all about it thinking it might help but it really didn’t. Any advice?

I read your blog post and made a lengthy comment on it. God is love and sent his son to redeem each one of us. The enemy of our souls comes to steal, kill and destroy. Blame him not God. Release and loose blaming God and bitterness from your soul. Bind the healing of God and his love to your soul. Blessings of love and healing.
