Relationship

How do you strengthen a relationship? You spend time with them, you have experiences with them, good and the bad. You get mad at them but then forgive them. The closer you get to someone a family member, a friend, or a spouse the more you care for them and want the best for them, and they will want the same for you. The closer you get to someone the more you want to spend time with them, and do nice things for them. The same goes for God, the closer your relationship gets with him the more he will bless you, and that will make you want to strengthen your relationship with him. But like almost all relationships you have to work at it. There are many ways you can strengthen your relationship with God, and I know at first it might be kind of scary, or you might be kind of nervous because you don't know how to strengthen your relationship with him. But let me tell you it's not scary and it's real simple it just takes some time. It can start with just a simple prayer asking for help or showing gratitude for what we have already been blessed with. It can also start with some scripture studying, even if it is just for 10 minutes before you go to bed. Also you can go to church to make it stronger. As you start to do these things you will be blessed and your relationship with God will increase, and you will begin to receive countless blessings from him. Now it probably won't happen over night I'm sorry but I promise you it will happen over time. You will find yourself wanting to pray more and wanting to read your scriptures and go to church every Sunday, because you will have seen the blessings from strengthening your relationship and you will want more. As your relationship with God grows you will receive blessings such as your relationships with others will strengthen, or you may just be happier about life and many other things. I invite you to begin to strengthen your relationship with God and I promise you won't regret it.
