INSPIRASUNS

Take a moment to think about the relationships in your life. The relationship you have with your spouse, family, and close friends. Are you comfortable in those relationships?

I’ve mentioned here before that we go to breakfast on Sunday mornings following church, with some good friends of ours. It’s kind of a joke now about where to go, who is going to pick the spot, is there someplace new, etc. At breakfast, there is always laughter, some catching up from the previous week, and a look ahead. However, there are times when we’re just quiet. Now, granted, we may have our mouths full, but there are indeed those times when we just sit, and you know what, it’s ok.

When I think about the relationship with my husband, well, yes, comfortable is definitely a word that would come to mind. We, too, are comfortable in the quiet. We’ve been together a very long time, and we have a pretty good idea what the other is thinking and when the other needs some space. We share everything, and over the years, that level of sharing has only deepened.

My point is that when you build a relationship with others, there is a comfort level that you enjoy. You know that you can count on them to be there when needed, through the good and the bad. You want to share when things happen. You want to spend time with them because they make your day better.

That is the relationship that the Lord wants with us. He wants us to be comfortable enough with Him that we share everything. He wants us to come to Him not just when we’re sad, anxious, or hurting. He wants us to come to him when we’re joyful and celebrating, too. We should also be so comfortable in our relationship with Him that it’s ok to be quiet. Sometimes the strongest messages from Father come when we are still and quiet.

At the beginning of this little blog post I asked you to think about the relationships you have with others. When you did so, did you think about your relastionship with Jesus? Are you comfortable there? If not, then why not take a little time before your day begins to spend time with Him. Have a conversation, ask Him to prepare you for the day, and do the same as you end your day. Grow in comfort in that relationship 🙂 .

Have a good day friends. Continued prayers for the return of Emily Rea.

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neighter let them be afraid.
