How to Build a Relationship with God (Part 2)

It’s important that we get to know God.

We should know that He is good, even when things don’t go our way.

He is fair and just, no matter what we feel.

The God of the Universe doesn’t owe us anything, but He freely gives us grace.

You want wisdom? He gives it freely, when we ask for it.

All these things we learn when we take the time to get to know Him.

How to Build a Relationship with God (Part 1)

Has your heart been searching?

Don’t Give Up! God Has a Plan For You!

Sometimes, I even think that I heard God’s call wrong. Was He really talking to me all those times, or was I eavesdropping on someone else’s calling?

When my understanding of what I should be doing returns, and I try again and it seems like things don’t work like I planned.

I get frustrated and I just want to quit…I want to give up. Is it really worth it to keep trying to reach my dreams and goals, when life gets in the way?

Just at the point of me giving up, I feel a gentle, loving, sweet nudge and that’s when I realize I haven’t consulted my HELP – The Holy Spirit – and He reminds me: “I have a plan.”
