GOD’S DESIRE TO HAVE RELATIONSHIP WITH US

Revelation 3:20 Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

My daughter sent me photos of her son’s stick insects which have just hatched 71 eggs successfully! They laid them months ago then suddenly they all decided to hatch yesterday which is quite remarkable. Now I’m not really keen on any insect but I am interested in those, just because our grandson is interested in them and he can talk to us about them next time we see him which helps us build relationship in a little way.

In the same way God wants relationship with each one of us because we’re His family and He loves us and He shows us how much He’s interested in us by wanting to be involved in all we do too. He’s written in His word how He wants to care for us till we’re old and grey (Isaiah 46:4), how He knows every detail of our lives (Psalm 139).

God wants to build a two-way relationship with us and if we say we love Him then we’ll want the same thing as well.  I just think it’s wonderful that the Creator of all things, the One who breathed life into every creature, wants a personal relationship with you and me. What an honour and a privilege. 

It’s like when King David called for Jonothan’s son Mephibosheth to be found just so he could bless him and give him back all the land that had belonged to his grandfather King Saul. He had him eat at the king’s table from then on and blessed him mightily. (2 Samuel 9:7)

God is doing that with us, we get to sit at His table when we take communion and fellowship with Him but we can also talk with Him day and night, wherever we are, about anything on our minds, whether it’s something funny or something serious.

We’re part of God’s family and it just makes me feel so very grateful and no doubt you’re the same too.😊

Have a blessed weekend.😊
