Staying with God
IT’S GOOD TO CONSIDER GOD IN OUR RELATIONSHIP TO GOD
A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP TO GOD BENEFITS ONE & ALL
God is happy when we pray, but He’d like it even more if we’d STAY—stay CLOSE to Him in our hearts. Just as you’d want a good friend to stay close with you.
For God
IMAGINE: A man has a girlfriend, but when he’s not with her, he forgets her. He doesn’t call her, or miss her, or reach to her in his heart. Too much forgetting, too little remembering! How can she feel he wants her, needs her, cares about her? The relationship is weak.
Likewise, a person meets God occasionally in prayer, but then forgets God until the next formal meeting. That relationship, too, is unsatisfactory. You can almost hear God say, “I love you, and I’m glad you’re praying, but how about staying?”
For good
To be our best and do our best, we absolutely need closeness with God. It gives us the well-being we need for clear thinking, strength, endurance, understanding. It greatly improves our sensitivity to Divine guidance. Consequently, everything we do is much more fruitful, beneficial, effective.
For you
When you stay with God, your heart is full. The wind of God blows through your soul. You can feel it, and it moves you. You feel secure, strong, and confident that you can address life wisely and effectively. You feel you have a place in the universe. Now consider the alternative . . .
When you forget your natural love for God and drop your connection with God, you feel lost, empty, confused. Like a small child without its parents, not knowing where it is, or why it’s here, or where to go; not knowing how to take care of itself truly. You think about things, but don’t trust your thoughts. You see, we cripple our intuition and Divine sensitivity when we douse the flame of loving connection with God.
For one and all
The closer you stay to God, the more helpful you can be: the more you’ll have to give, and the more He can give through you. For the benefit of one and all.
