It's Not A Regimen, It's A Relationship

by lareina morgan

God desires to live in your heart, to experience everything that you do, to comfort your heart when you go through pain and suffering, to inspire you to great feats of love and compassion. He wants you to be just like Him, and the only way that can happen is if you can experience who He is on a level that is realistic and impressive. You must learn to see your connection with Him as a relationship, and not as a daily 'regimen' or exercise.

It can happen very easily; when you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, there was a feeling of His presence in your heart, you felt a profound change in your heart and mind, your behavior may have changed, you may have been physically or emotionally healed, and you were filled with a sense of love and gratitude. Over time these feelings could change, as your christian lifestyle becomes a daily routine; you go to church every sunday, hear a sermon, go home and relax and get yourself ready for work for the next day. If you are more conscientious than many christians, you participate in church ministries every week, and you tithe. All of these things are good things to do, but they can put you into a mindset that hampers your spiritual development. After everything that you do as a christian, do you know if God approves of what you are doing with your life?

Prayer is so essential to every christian's life, but many christians are not aware that prayer is not just about talking to God when they need something, or asking for help when they are in tough situations; God wants to be a crucial part of our daily lives, and He wants us to fellowship with Him. Taking time to praise Him for all He has done for us, and to show our gratitude by spending time during the day to read the bible, and listen to worship music, and sing songs of thanksgiving and praise; my God yearns for your praise and for your love. He is love, and so it is natural that He would appreciate our efforts to show how much we love Him. He is a tender and sweet God, a faithful, compassionate friend who will give you everything that you need to survive in this world if you make Him a priority in your life.

He wants to you know who He is, and you can't really know who He is if the only time you actually interact with Him during the week is only on Sunday. Every christian needs the Lord in their lives every day. My sweet Jesus paid a high price to save us, not just because He wanted to prevent us from dying in our sins and going to hell as our eternal punishment, but because He wants us to be with Him always, as His children and His family, to commune with Him, with our Father God, and with The Holy Spirit, in the unity of love, peace, and joy forever and ever. It is the greatest gift God has ever given to man and the greatest choice we will ever make; that thought should prompt us all to come into His presence every day with awe for this wonderful gift He has given us, and fill our hearts with thanksgiving and praise. We serve a wonderful God!

I often try to be mindful to spend that time with Him everyday, and sometimes I get anxious if I am not able to do so in the time I planned for because life happens and you don't always get to do things you planned to do in a given day, but the Lord reminds me that I don't have to feel like I have let Him down, He just wants me to be willing to be with Him sometime during the day, whether it be in the morning before I start my day, or in evening after the day is done, or at lunch reading the bible.....whenever you have the time, He will be there, and He is always ready to commune with you, because He always enjoys His time with you. I make sure that I speak with Him every day, even if my schedule doesn't allow me to do everything I wanted to do with Him; a few minutes in your prayer closet or your space in your home you set aside for Him may be all that you can do, but believe me it will make a difference in your life and it pleases the Lord!
