A Relationship worth Fighting For!

Have you ever noticed that when you are facing a storm you seem to have this burning desire to call on God every minute, every hour and every turn of the day. You find yourself chasing after him and calling his name constantly. Going into your prayer closet at random moments just seeking Jesus. Have you ever notice that when all seems to be well that flaming desire that you once had begins to linger. Its not as loud and strong as it once was. In moments like these I can barely hear God. Can I just keep it real. I find the time I once filled with Jesus being occupied by meaningless activities or just day dreaming. Its at this moment I find myself wondering should I be chasing after Jesus. This has been something I have battled with for years. I always wondered why is it so hard for me to keep the fire shut up in me for Jesus. I look at my fellow brothers and sisters and it’s like they always have that fire for God. Why is it so hard for me? I want that. I want to be so in love with God that everything around me doesn’t matter. I want to be one of the biggest witnesses for Jesus. These are wants that I can have. I read Isaiah 30:18 and it says “So the Lord must wait for you to come to him, so He can show you His love and compassion…” . Right there it shows that God is waiting for me. God hasn’t went anywhere. He’s been there the entire time. He needs me to get to a quiet place so I can hear him properly. He needs me to silence the noise so that I know its no one but GOD. So how do you do that? Those days when you don’t feel like opening that bible FORCE yourself to read at least one scripture. Turn that radio station on praise and worship and leave it on so when you get in and out your car it’s on. You got to FORCE yourself to be in God’s presence. It’s not that you’re forcing a relationship with God but you are forcing yourself to be discipline, to surround yourself with God’s presence so that when the trials of this world come you will be prepared. We fight for a lot of things in this life. We fight for humanity. We fight for our rights. We fight for each other. Why not fight with ourselves for God?
