For my friends who have built a relationship with a spouse or lover in the time long enough, are you still remember how wonderful that's relationship develop? I still remember how when I first met my wife. From only know a little, I slowly deeper and deeper to know him. His personality, his habits, who she was, it was not possible to know immediately when I first met. Just like a relationship, to get to know someone more closely always takes time and effort. If build a relationship with someone that takes time and effort, how build relationship with God ? There are many people who have ups and downs in relationship them with God. One of my family members break totally with God because The God has called her mother. There was a feeling sick and tired to pray and read the Word of God, and he began doing less and less. He still keep reading the biblical, but it has lost the passion or no longer feel gain anything from what he read. His relationship with God also became cold, there is no intimacy and closeness in his prayers. Have you ever experienced anything like this? how do you think the meaning of God's Word who says ... "Draw near to God, and He will draw near unto you"?

I believe God is always very near to us...and he only waits for us to acknowledge his presence, to seek it out, and yes, he will draw even nearer. Karen

Hi Firstly, m happy to know that u have a happy family and i wish and pray all prosperity and more happiness throughout ur life. All relationship needs to have faith, love, truth, time, honesty, patience and strength to hold together even at hard times. These all if v have any human relationship grows stronger and binds to a never breaking or ending stage. This is the same way required in relationship with God. V need to have faith in God that he alway does good things for us even if they seem bad for the moment but everything turns to good when v believe. God loves u very much. He shows his love through the people he has given us in our life. The more v love our fellow beings v are loving God. God is the truth and respecting truth attaches us more to God. Spending some time for prayer and good deeds raises our spirit to unit with God. Even at the hardest and more painful times if v have faith in God and have patience for the time to change, the bad will surely change to the best but only if v believe in God and love him. God wants us to be with him and for that v just need to have a little effort from our side and God will help us for the rest.
