My word for June 9th is RELATIONSHIP
While walking on this earth we will encounter many different
relationships. Work relationships,
friend relationships, Internet relationships, family relationships, romantic relationships
and many more relationships. These
relationships have an attachment, a bond to them. They each carry their own characteristics, their own
attributes that attract one person to another. These relationships
connect and bind us together. Some
are good and some are bad. Many
may start out being something wonderful and end horrendous. Do you have a choice whether you
continue in a relationship? Of
course you do. If the relationship
isn’t healthy or if it brings you sadness walk away from it. No I take that back, don’t walk,
RUN!
There is only one relationship that is required, the
relationship that is critical for us to make the most of our lives. This relationship is the one
thing that will bring us joy; it will enable the Holy Spirit to live within us. This relationship is the one that we
have with God. This relationship
begins when we realize that we need Him for our survival. When we have this bond we know that God
must be included in our daily lives.
We should pray to Him, read His word, and spend time with Him. When we have a relationship with God He
allows us to have the fruit of the Holy Spirit living within us. From this we will have love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
self-control.
God is very interested in having a personal relationship
with each of us. He wants us to
know Him. It isn’t a choice for Him; it is
our choice. There is no secret to
develop this divine relationship. When
we put God in our hearts the Holy Spirit begins working within us. Just as in any relationship, it must
take root, sprout and grow. You
may not see the results immediately but over time the relationship with God
will blossom.
God wants us to know him. The Bible says God
is at work in everyone’s life. “So that they should seek the Lord, in the hope
that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one
of us.”
Dear Lord help us to kindle the perfect relationship with You. Bring us closer to You through praying
to You and reading Your word. In a
world where many relationships don’t last, we know that our relationship with
You will last a life time. Thank
You for never giving up on us no matter what relationships we fall victim to. During 2012 help us strengthen the
relationship that will do nothing but help us to be full of the Fruit of the Spirit.
