RELATIONSHIPS

“It’s all about relationships,”
The Bible scholar said.
If it wasn’t for relationships,
We might as well be dead.
“For God so loved the world,” we know,
He gave His only Son,
That we through Him might kindness, love and mercy show
To each and everyone!
Our fellowship with God begins
When we believe and confess our sins -
When we open up our hearts and minds
And spend time alone with Him.
It could be while we are driving,
Cooking dinner or at the gym!
What is vital is that we just be open, honest, no holes barred
Quietly listening for Him.
Do you remember “just how you felt”
When you first fell in love?
Giddy at the sound of your beloved’s voice,
Couldn’t wait to hear from him?
Well, it is the same with God, you see!
He wants our thoughts, our hearts, our lives
He wants to be involved with us,
And not just peering from the skies!
Believe, confess, and obey His ultimate command-
Love the Lord your God with all you heart,
And love your fellow man.
These are the lessons from His word. How can we not obey??
Hearts overflowing, filled with joy,
Changed forever and alway.
