What God desires from us is a genuine, loving relationship.
For something to be genuine, it shouldn’t just come from the surface, but from within as well.
God desires, God wants, a personal and loving relationship with his creation. He doesn’t desire to be distant, but close and personal to each and every one of us.
The question is, is that what we want with God?
God’s love for us comes directly from his heart, and he wants our love for him to come from ours.
No spouse wants their betrothed to claim their love on the outside, and yet sideline them to make room for their hobbies, addictions, and other things that really have their heart.
So why do we do the same for God?
God doesn’t want our rituals, he wants our love. He wants to be our everything, our other half.
He wants us to be madly in love with him as he is with us. He wants to us to hold him dearly to our hearts, and to have everything we do to be done with him on our mind. He wants to be the first thing we think of in the morning, and the last thing we think of before we go to bed. He wants to be our source of joy, comfort, and complete and utter trust. He wants to be our rock, our strong hold on the day of trouble. He just wants to love us .
So why don’t we let him?
It’s not God who turns his back on us, it’s us who turn our backs on him.
It’s God who constantly shouts, “Here I am”, to a world that refuses to know him. It’s God who consistently blesses us when all we do is reject him.
It’s God who constantly holds his hands out towards us, now it’s up to us to hold our hands out towards him.
God bless, Jesus loves you ✝️❤️
