Maintaining Relationship & Hungry Not Comfortable


Maintaining Relationship

Beloved, we live so beneath our God-given privilege. The God of all Existence who creates life itself has established a living relationship with us. Dear folks, let me be short today… do you truly maintain your relationship with God to the best of your ability? I am broken hearted as I write this but this past week I have allowed the cares of this life to sway me from the caressing of His Life. I know “seek ye first the kingdom of God and His Righteousness” is a personal relationship not just a rule. Let us get back to true deep intimate moments with God. Get lost in His love and find His glory. Maintain your relationship.


The Wife’s Note: Hungry Not Comfortable

I have been thinking lately about hunger. And no not the growling in my stomach kind lol. I remember how hungry I was for the Lord when I had just been saved. How I would do anything. If there was something going on in the church I was there. I wanted to do anything that had to do with Jesus. If it meant me having to go to the end of the world and back I would have done it. But something happened….something happened after about 6 months of being saved. I became comfortable. It is dangerous to become to comfortable. It can happen so easy though. When things seem to become routine, or we get tired, or we get busy, comfortable is the place we normally end up. Sometimes we may not even realize it until one day it hits us. Where did my prayer time go? Where did my longing for his word go? Where did the simplicity of just pure love go? Where did my hunger go? Ill tell you where it is….it is right where you left it. So get back to the heart of worship. I would rather be hungry and know him like I am supposed to than to try and fill up by merely getting by with the crumbs from the table. You are a child of God. You were not meant to eat crumbs from the ground. Its not that you are not born again, but it can leave you in a backslidden state if you are not careful. So get back today. Get back to being hungry and not comfortable.
