Deepening a Relationship With God

Most of those who believe in God never experience the fullness of a life founded deeply in Him. I have tasted it, but I can’t say that I myself am deeply found in Him at the moment. When my life has been more deeply marked by a strong relationship with God, I feel more purpose, I feel more fulfilled, & I regret less. 

Acquiring a Strong Relationship with God isn’t something that just happens. It requires God’s blessing & grace; it also requires discipline. Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster is a good book on the discipline element of it. While it requires discipline, if it’s one of the worst parts of your day, rather than one of the best (if not the best) and most replenishing, you’re probably doing something wrong. I experience more tears of joy in this time & in corporate prayer/worship than in all other time combined, despite the limited nature of my time with God.
