All About How To Build A Close Relationship With God

By Francis Riggs


Believers are not called so out of nothing. It is because they believe in the existence of God and have faith in him. However, belief and faith are not enough as we must strive to know our Creator. Most importantly, we must strive to be close to Him. A personal relationship with our Maker is exciting as it stirs up a passion inside to love not only Him but also others. We all want to know how to build a close relationship with God.

Understanding His expectations of you is the first step in making a connection to God. Even people must know each other well before becoming friends. To know what He expects from you, study His laws and rules. They are not meant to oppress, rather show the path to His presence. When we consider and follow His rules, we can start making a connection to Him.

Talk to Him. Just as friends talk, God wants us to talk to Him. We talk to Him when we pray. Prayers should not be complicated affairs; they are as simple as making conversation. Its an engaging speak in a respectful and loving way. Start by saying thank you for great things He does and also pray for others.

Repentance is a sure way to build an association to our Maker. God is holy and without sin, and we are full of sins. Sins constrain our association to Him but when we confess and ask for forgiveness, He promises to bring us back to Him.

Learn to listen, speak if you want to create an association to our God. He speaks in His words in the Bible. In addition, His Holy Spirit helps us talk to Him. Also, the Spirit enables us understand His word so that we can hear Him speak to us. When we listen, He directs and lights our paths so that we are faithful, which is all He asks from us and the rest is left to He that provides everything.

Also, it is important to find a body of believers whom to worship with. True believers encourage one another so that everyone stays on the correct path. However, you must guard your heart as there are people who claim to speak for God but their actions are contrary.

Lastly, remember to make Him a friend. Keep Him involved in whatever you do. Just like we always keep our friends in the loop, He wants us to include Him. Share your concerns, dreams, worries, struggles and joys. Let God work in your life and also take away your sorrow and pain to replace them with love, happiness, and joy.

In conclusion, know that God loves you. It is the most important thing to remember. He will forgive you when you ask and will heal you if you are sick. The most important thing to remember is to ask Him. Spend time with Him and always be grateful for what He has and is doing in your life. Do not be selfish, share with others His goodness and pray for them too.
