What type of relationships are you in? Are you a parent dealing with children? Are you a grown child caring for an adult who may be infirm? What gets you through? Is it hope? Is it faith?
Hope that you will raise your child/children right. Raising a child is not easy. Especially in these chaotic days. It seems that telling right from wrong has become a blurry and abstract subject.
We're in a "whatever makes it easier" society. If your child would rather sit in front of a TV screen instead of doing chores or homework it's OK as long as they're quiet. Buy your kids the latest video game just so they won't throw a temper tantrum. We're too busy to check homework and moniter entertainment choices. Let alone ask how our children are doing or to tell them we love them.
Jesus wasn't too busy for children. He said "Let the children come unto me." Those of us who have a childlike innocence inherit the kingdom. To be in awe of God. Childlike NOT childish.
Jesus had a close relationship with His Father in Heaven. Jesus did as he saw his father doing in heaven. The Our Father Prayer is a testament to that. "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven."
Jesus followed The Father's will even unto death.
The followers of Jesus were disapointed in the fact that thier leader had been killed. Nonetheless God's plans were not put to death. The death and burial of Jesus lead to his ressurection. The mission of Jesus was continued and continues to this day.
So maybe your married. And you have an amazing spouse. Your love for each other runs deep. You can't face the idea that one day you will lose your beloved. What if it were to happen? Will you
yell and scream at God and ask why?
If God has a strong place in your relationship and if he is the glue that holds everything together then if and or when your beloved is wisked away into heaven then knowing that God is by your side his strength can see you through.
If you put God in the drivers seat and rely on him all the days of your life he can become your spiritual spouse.
Look I know that these words may sound silly and absurd that's okay. Faith in an invisible God may seem rediculous. But what have you got to loose by at least reach out to the Great Spirit?
Life is not without pain and loss. It's a gaurantee. Another promise is that there is a higher power out there. Someone created you. Every life has a purpose. That may be hard to swallow but I believe it to be true.
I tried to deny this as being fact but God is truly everywhere. Look hard ennough (even if you have to squint) and you will find the truth and the truth will set you free.
Men and women fail each other. But God never does.
The more importance you place on God in your life the more evident his assistance will be even if the people that reside in flesh and blood let us down, get sick, or even die.
They say that there will always be death and taxes but there will also always be the promise of our father in heaven and the fact that the gates of heaven are open 24/7/365 That the lifeline to God's ears to hear us and our prayers never lose reception or ever become out of range.
What relationship do you have with the One creating us in his image?
