Relationships

Relationships take time, effort, planning, scheduling, and patience.  You have to communicate and spend time together.

My husband and I were able to get away for the weekend.  Just the two of us.  Our daughter was away for the weekend and so we took advantage of the opportunity.  We had a great time.  It took effort though to plan the weekend, to make the reservations, and to adjust his work schedule. 

As a couple we needed that time to strengthen our relationship.  We needed to talk, to laugh, and to just spend some time together (without a child).

We also need to work on our relationship with God.  It isn’t automatic.

Our relationship with God should be deliberate. God created us to have a relationship with Him.  We should plan time with him.  We should communicate with Him often and spend time with Him daily.   It’s not always easy or convenient but it is necessary.  The more you do it, the more natural it becomes. 

Take the first step, plan time in your schedule for reading the Bible and praying.  Be faithful and do it.  Then trust God to change your heart and your life.  Soon you will be to the place where you won’t want to miss that time. 

Try it.  What do you have to lose?
