Dear friends, today I want to talk to you about a very important thing – our friendship and relationship with God.
You know, our Creator wants a very close, personal relationship with each of us. It seems to me that as a father wants to be close to his child, God wants a close relationship with us.
When we come closer to God, we learn how to love Him, how to forgive, how to show mercy. Think of it a little – if we can be as forgiving as God, then there will be a lot of peace in our family, friends.
Think about Jesus. He called his disciples friends, ate with them, taught them. God wants such a relationship with us. He wants us to come to him, talk to him, and listen to his sentences.
I think the more we get closer to God, the better we can be to God and to others. Because then we will learn how to show true love.
Remember, the love of God is the root of all good relationships. This love never ends, always patiently, always shows mercy. When we feel like this, our use with everyone around us changes. We are more forgiving, try to understand others, and think of others before ourselves. This way we can spread the love of God on earth.
Before finishing, I would like to remind you that God created us to be together. He wants us to build deep relations with him and with each other. By following his sentence, we can create a relationship that will reflect his love and bring the glory of his name.
So guys, let’s all try together to build a deeper relationship with God and with each other. It will make our lives more beautiful, and we will reflect the love of God on earth.
