The benefits of having a relationship with God

Having a relationship with God gives you a hiding place when the world seems to be agianst you, it keeps you sane when it feels like the load is too much to handle. It puts a smile on your face when the world assumes you’re going through the worst experience any human being could go through. It gives you hope for a better tomorrow, it allows you to practice faith in something you do not have to understand or justify. It lets you speak your thoughts at anytime without waiting for availability.


God is a friend you can always rely on, He never disappoints- even when He does not answer our prayers. You need not pretend with Him, for He wants you as you are; weak, broke, weird, stupid, useless, inferior, insignificant, shy, and anything else you can think of.

I do not know what you might be going through in your life right now, but I can personally tell you that there is joy in allowing Him to be at all times. Try Him if you haven’t yet established a relationship with Him; speak to Him, tell Him your worries and all your joys- see if He won’t listen. The world has so much to offer, but it all comes at a price; so why not take God up on His offer of eternal life that comes freely? There really is life after this, but it starts here. Do not compromise guys, serve Him and be faithful to Him- for the benefits of having a relationship with God are better than any other relationship the world can offer.

Our response to tests

Why are we so quick to give in when things don’t go our away? Why do we allow the devil to take away our joy when minor disruptions come our way?


It’s so sad how we respond to trials and adversities, I cannot even begin to imagine how much more sad God becomes when we make earthly problems bigger than Him instead of telling our problems how big our Lord is. The test of our faith leaves us with no faith, forgetting that the Lord said such would happen but we should rejoice in Him for they are signs of greater things to come. We refuse to take God for His word, let alone put Him to the test.

His promises are true, He never fails or dissapoints. If we could just once take Him for His word; when troubles come, let us face them boldly and be confident that He is in control. But He will only do so if we invite Him and give Him full control. The Lord is waiting to cater to all our needs, only at our invitation, complimented by our faith. Why suffer when we have such a solid rock to run to? Why run to the world (the source of our troubles), when we can run to Him?

Next time a problem comes your way; do not be afraid, and never doubt your Master for He lives and will deliver you from every situation. Love Him through bad and good times; praise Him through bad and good times. Seek His face, and seek His wisdom at all times. Never allow a speck of doubt to cloud your faith, for that is the devil’s gateway. Smile at the storm and stand firm in your faith, for the Lord sees your every tear and knows your every trouble.
