I'm just wondering since I've noticed that I'm mostly seeking what he can do for me. I mean I'm talking to him every day, and reading the Bible every day. But it still doesn't feel like I have a real relationship with him. Maybe it's because I'm seeking what he can do for me(Like getting me a girlfriend.). How do I get to point where I just where I want to know God just because he saved from Hell and nothing else. Or something like that, I really need to get better at explaining things...
Start by Appreciating Him. Think of a relationship you have with anyone you like... You appreciate them!
Thank God about anything that comes to mind, and whenever.
Be Appreciative about creation and the gifts and abilities we've been given.
You see a beautiful sunset, Thank God.
You duck under a covered walk way to get out of the rain, Thank God for the builders of the covered walk way, and the covered walkway itself! Thank God for our ability to create as well, to build and develop and understand. And Praise God for our abilities and his Love for us to gift us so.
You hear a beautiful song, praise God for the gift of music, the gift of sound and hearing.
You eat some great food, Thank God for the creation of eating food to gain energy... while we're on the topic, Sleep is awesome! Have a great nights worth of sleep. Praise God and Thank Him.
Enjoy a great vehicle? Clean bathroom? Comforting blanket? Refreshing Nature Trail? Praise God! Thank Him!
You stub your toe or bruise your knee, Praise God that you have working legs! Thank Him Always!
Appreciate God! In All Things. For His gifts to us personally, for His gifts to us as a race of people... the intellect, the invention, the entertainment... even the small things... Our nervous system, the ability to touch, our cardiovascular system, the shoes we wear, fresh snow, a warm fire, a tropical beach, a telephone, a mom, a dad, a brother, a sister, a friend, a lover, a past, a present, a future.
Praise God forever.
