Love Life with God

Today my dad did a sermon on what our relationship with God should be like. We are love God as a woman/bride/wife is to love her man/groom/husband. We have got to work for the relationship just as you would in a marriage. You have to work with Him, communicate with Him, seek Him, and spend time with Him. A couple has to learn to work together and do things together. We have to work with God and do things with Him. We have to communicate our thoughts to Him so that He can know how we feel. He also communicates His thoughts to us. We also have to seek Him and learn to think like Him. We cannot automatically know what each other is thinking so we have to work at thinking like Him. We can do that by reading His word and spending time with Him. Enoch (one of those cool guys in the Bible) walked with God. He was in God's presence all the time. In everything he did, God was there with him. We should strive and work to have a relationship with God. Jesus worked to talk and be with God. All of the people whom we consider great christians worked to have a relationship with God. We cannot have a relationship with God unless we work for it. It cannot be one-sided either, both people have to work together. A man and woman have to work together to make a life together. It's the same with God. He wants us to be His bride and He is fighting for us. In return if we truly love Him, we will fight and strive to have a relationship with Him.
