So ~ how do we go about becoming God's Mrs. Right?
God loves us ~ so much that He sent His son to die for us.
It takes US falling in love with HIM!
How do we do that? This chapter goes through six levels of our relationship with God ~ the ultimate being the bride/groom relationship. As we go along in our relationship with God and draw closer to Him, He draws closer to us. That's what He has wanted all along!
Matthew 6:33 tells us to seek first God's kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you.
Psalm 37:4 tells us to delight ourselves in the Lord and He will give us the desires of our hearts.
Just as a girlfriend may sit by the phone waiting for that boyfriend to call, God is waiting on us to call out to Him ~ to fall in love with Him ~ to be consumed with Him .... He wants to be your first love.
Here comes the tough part ~
* have you really invested time in getting to know God on a deeper level?
* do you read the Bible and dig in to find out what it's really saying?
* have you given God a chance to show you His love or are you focusing on young men ... fantasies & dreams ... chat rooms?
* have you chosen to focus on God when you feel lonely ... praying, listening to worship music or reading His Word?
* are there things done in private when you hope God isn't watching or you choose to ignore His presence?
* do you believe that God can satisfy all your needs?
Are you willing to set aside everything, everyone and yourself and become totally dependant on God?
We can't let guilt from past relationships or past mistakes keep us from God. He is waiting there to forgive and help us learn His paths. Remember God created you. He knows your inmost parts ~ your inmost thoughts and desires. Who better to help you?
Matthew 7: 7 - 8 tells us to ask God and seek God ~ to knock and He will open the door to us. The door of a greater love relationship with Him!
