Another factor in any relationship rests in the idea of communication. Yet all too often people shout demands at God but refuse to listen for any type of answer. They behave like a spoiled toddler who is accustomed to having his parents at his complete beck and call. Many people believe that God "owes" them because they "accepted Jesus into their lives." Yet what does this acceptance really mean?
The acceptance of Jesus means that each person realizes that he is a sinner - a black hearted selfish creature who thinks that the world owes him anything that he wants and should bow down to his demands. The acceptance of Jesus means that each person must daily (hour by hour) give up control of their lives - thoughts, actions, conversations, behaviors and surrender EVERYTHING to Jesus who gave up more than a mere human can imagine, His personal intertwined communication and indwelling with God the Father. Jesus, God in human form, lived the perfect life in His relationship with God. Jesus followed all of the Jewish Laws and never once lied, cheated, hated, or told His Father that the job he had to do was impossibly hard. Jesus spent hours in prayer with the delight of his life - His Heavenly Father, Creator of the Universe. This constant communication allowed Jesus to depend on God for all things - strength, courage, hope, peace, and joy. By staying close to God, Jesus modeled for all mankind the type of relationship that God wants with His creation - an honest, open, loving heart that pours the beauty of God into the world and sheds the Holy Light of God on everyone everywhere.
Keep the lines of communication open by
PRAYING constantly
READING the Word of God (BIBLE)
LISTENING for the guidance of God
ACTING on the direction of God, even when the act seems to be of no effect
WORKING constantly to become the creation that The Most High God plans for you to be.
