Are you ready to hear it?

God desires a relationship.

Yes, you’ve heard that right. God’s ultimate desire is for you to have a relationship with Him. Did you ever take some time to observe that we all relate to one another in some way? You have a relationship with you family, your relatives, your friends, your neighbors..and the list could go on and on. At the center of creation God placed Adam and Eve, and blessing them, they became a family in God’s eyes. The two had a relationship with each other, carefully planned by God. A moment after He created the man, God understood the man’s need for another human being. God gave Eve to Adam as a beautifully crafted half, and even though she fit perfectly with Him in all the beauty of creation; God made sure to leave a deep desire for Himself in both of their hearts. God places a heavy importance on relationship; that’s why we are wired to have relationships with each other. Even right after birth, a baby longs for his mother’s touch and the warmth of her breast against his soft cheek. Just as much as a baby needs nourishment, he also needs his mother’s relationship with him; she gives the baby a sense of security by offering her love to him. Take that need and multiply it by eternity; that’s how much your Creator desires to have a deep, meaningful relationship with you every day of your life. He made sure to leave that desire burning inside your heart for a purpose. God knew that one day, you will come to realize that no relationship in your life will be able to satisfy your deepest need. He made you the crown of all creation and gave everything to you. God places great importance on you. Ever since He began His creation, His strongest desire was for you to have a relationship with Him. It still is and it will always be; just like the desire in your heart for His everlasting embrace.

The freedom you’ve been longing for all your life exists.

Forgiveness is the longing inside every heart.

There is forgiveness in the hands of our Father, the One who loves us more than an earthly father ever could. God is eternal. We all need to feel forgiven, loved, and accepted. That’s exactly what God wants to offer you at no cost. Sincere repentance produces forgiveness, and forgiveness ultimately produces freedom. Yes, the freedom you’ve longed for all your life is available only from the hands of your Creator. Don’t make the cruel mistake of looking for forgiveness or freedom where you will never be able to find it, but rather turn your eyes to the One whose forgiveness is true, real, and everlasting. Imagine the peace you will feel, your heart will be filled with a joy so pure that you won’t be able to contain it all to yourself. What do you say? All you have to do is accept. It couldn’t be any easier. Will you take His hand? Let God show you the life He meant for you to live when He breathed life into your being.
