I was just thinking this morning that for most humans, being in a relationship with someone is very very important to them. I mean I have to admit that even I have been known to have a very strong desire to want to be in a relationship with a beautiful, smart, amazing, sexy, wonderful, encouraging, spontaneous, ambitious, feisty, stubborn, sometimes mean, wonderful smile having, goofy, Christ-filled, independent, my best friend type of woman. Yeah I am guilty of being in the category of relationship/companionship type of person. We put so much energy into maintaining a relationship with someone who will hurt us or let us down in someway, but for some of us we don't put that much energy into the relationship we have with God.
Imagine how much better our lives would be, if we were as devoted to our relationship with God; just like we are devoted to our relationships with one another. I mean and God never fails us or let's us down, so why don't we give Him as much love, devotion, and time as we do our women or your men? I believe that our relationships with our friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, wives, or husbands; would be so much better if we focused on making the best out of our relationship with Christ.
I believe that if we spent more time telling God how much we love Him, our significant other would trust us when we tell them we love them. If we spent quality time with God on purpose, I believe the quality time we spend with the love of our lives would be spectacular. I believe that if we spent more time listening and communicating with Christ, that we would not encounter so many communicating errors with the humans we are giving our hearts to.
I have a feeling that break-ups and divorces would diminish if we just seek a healthy relationship with the one who designed man and woman in the first place. He's the author of relationship, relationships, and even "relations"; so why wouldn't He know a thing or two about having a successful relationship? Why wouldn't He help us overcome heartbreak, relational drama, abuse, fear, guarded hearts, and everything else negative that comes with dating and relationships?
I'm just saying maybe it's time to stop counting on magazines, MTV, Cosmo, and the Internet for your love advice and maybe just have a better relationship with the Almighty.
