As Sinners , we need God. But as Christians, we should want God just as much as we need him. Just as us humans want to be wanted, God also wants to be wanted. Once we accept Christ into our lives we should endeavor to grow ever closer to him, because he is infinite and everlasting. He will never expire, run out, or get tired of us. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Getting closer to God includes more than just going to church, singing Hymns, and staying awake during service. In involves reading your Bible, praying, and maybe even fasting.
So if you're worried that God isn't speaking to you, maybe you should speak to him first, or else be quiet and listen. Because he wants to know you, and you need to know him.
Bradley Shea, great thoughts and insights. If we can all learn to want God just as much (and more) as we want to be wanted, growing God would be easier.
ReplyDeleteIn fact is we can learn to want God over everything else we would have a much stronger relationship with him and others.
