Our Relationship with God

Certain things which apply to our relationship with our human friends also apply to our relationship with God. God's three favorite phrases are 'please', 'I'm sorry' and 'thank you'. We say 'please' when we want from God, 'I'm sorry' when we offend Him and 'thank You' when we get from Him. When these come from our hearts, they signal our weakness and our dependence in His all sufficiency - our total dependence on Him.

We sometimes make the mistake of thinking God is a 7th dimension cosmo-being who will one day cause an inter-galactic hyper-blast which will bring the whole world to a grinding halt. We think therefore that our relationship with Him must be really, really, complex.. That's not so. God is not a 7th dimension inter-galactic blah blah blah. He has personality and He has feelings too.

So, don't you forget those three phrases; 'please', 'I''m sorry', 'thank you'. Three phrases that keep relationships going - like the one between us and Him.
