How to improve our relationship with God? God does not just want you belong to Him, and to have an alliance with him, but HE wants a relationship with you. This is the most important relationship that we could cultivate in our lives.
(Matthew 6:31, 32, 33, 34)
Jesus teaches us that our “biggest concern” must be seeking a full relationship with God. In the first place!
Relating to: (to be connected with, to have with the, To Become acquainted with), means to be connected, on, learn more and more! If you are seeking to improve your relationship with God, I’ll give you five tips:
1) Take time with God in prayer!
Dialogue generates intimacy! When you tell things from your heart to God, He tells things from his heart to yours! Don’t get a “fast pass ticket” when it comes to talking to God, calm down, take your time, make it pleasurable , invest in this precious time with God!
If you take 5 minutes off every day from your daily doings: phone, internet, television, listening to music, chatting away at the end you … Made time!
(Psalms 91:1,22)
2) Give up what you know displeases God!
Would you get along with someone who does things they know is wrong and you do not like it? And yet they continue to do so, no! Neither does God! If you know that God does not like it, don’t do it! Mistakes and sins will always create a gap between you and God despite his forgiveness towards you!
(Proverbs 28:13,143)
3) Seek to know the Word and grow in understanding!
This will help you understand the will of The Lord … If you do not read the manual of your car you can still drive it, but when doubts arise about the functioning of the car, you will go unanswered!
(Mark 12:24)
Ignorance and lack of knowledge destroys lives and interferes in the relationship with God!
4) Choose to be with people who are also seeking quality relationship with God.
Other people can inspire us and help us in our relationship with God and can also hinder! Therefore it is extremely important to choose well.
(Co.15 1: 33.34)
I’ve met people who were instrumental, vital in my relationship with God, I became so much better!
How nice it is to have contact with people that are connected, connected, intimate, that knows God not only from “hearing about it” but from experiencing God in their lives!
5) Put yourself always before the Lord as a humble servant, God has no place in the Proud, not haughty, stuck up, conceited, proud! Neither know it all attitude, “Let’s rewrite your history together and you’ll no longer need to use an eraser”…
All we have to be is a humble servant, jars of clay in the hands of God! Whoever wants to look great or be the best or be the perfect one is because it’s insecurities and that’s the way they find to hide their terrible defects! Living with masks, living a lie!
Any symptom of pride affects our relationship with God! Himself: He was meek, humble, discreet, simple, gentle, and merciful, without ceremony!
Liturgies, religiosity, self-sufficiency, if you are like this, it will only draw you away from God! Making you less and less pleasing to Him!
(John 3:27 to 30)
