WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

The title of today’s episode: IT’S ABOUT RELATIONSHIP

People have different reasons for online dating. There are some seeking someone to spend the rest of their lives with, which prompted me to think about God wanting a relationship with each of us.

Heaven’s personal ad would read. Loving God, seeking those who will worship me in truth. Seeking a bride for a long-term relationship for all of eternity.  Must learn of me and know me.

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

When I hear this verse the picture of Jesus knocking on a big wooden door comes to mind. He knocks on everyone’s heart. Some open the door and let him come inside. Others refuse out of fear or disobedience. When he knocks we cannot refuse, he will only knock for a short time, then he will walk away.

John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

As with any relationship, it is important to get to know the other person. To build a friendship, it is the foundation of any good relationship. God called Abraham his friend. He will call us friends also, as long as we put our trust in him.

Jeremiah 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

When we seek and search for God we will find him. When we put our whole heart into learning about him and searching to find the heart of God, He will be found. His word is full of love and clues to lead us to his whole heart. What he desires from us is our whole heart.

Psalm 145: 18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

His arm is not short, nor is his ability to see us through what we are facing. Nothing is too hard for our God. If we want God to be near, we have to call on him. But not just call on him but call on him in truth. He wants us to yield to his presence and listen to his voice.

Unlike idol worship, Christianity is more than a bunch of rituals around a statue. Christianity is all about a relationship with our creator. The one who made the heavens and the earth. And he created us.

He wants us to really know him, and we do this by prayer and study of his word. Take time to spend in the Word. Look for his character and his love.  It is his love story to us, his bride.

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
