Tuesday July 9, 2013
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. (Romans 12:2 NLT)
Our creator loves us dearly and offers friendship to us on a personal basis. One of the ways we enter in and enjoy this relationship with God is through prayer and meditation. The purpose of prayer and meditation is to help us learn how to hear God's heart and to sensitize us to the joyful way of life that God is revealing to us. Through prayer we get in touch with this loving and powerful God who is already at work changing our lives through forgiveness, acceptance, and commitment to us as a companion in a loving relationship.
When we read God's word and listen to what He has to say, God will respond and reveal His good and pleasing and perfect will to us. Here’s how the Bible describes this heart-to-heart sharing with God. “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” (Jeremiah 33:3; James 1:5-6; NIV)
All of us long for love, long to belong, long to be part of an intimate, caring, and life-giving relationship. God is offering to companion us today and every day and to share His heart with us. Are we willing to receive His offer of loving relationship? Are we willing to open our hearts and share with Him, friend-to-friend, heart-to-heart?
