Think about this for a few minutes, Christian. God has been waiting for (and looking forward to) relationship with you since before the foundations of the earth.
In other words, God’s desire for relationship with you is older than the stone that David killed Goliath with. It’s older than the mountain that Noah’s Ark came to rest on. It’s older than any dinosaur bone and older than anything in the periodic table of elements. In fact, God’s desire for relationship with you is older than the dust that Adam was created out of. You have access to this incredible relationship with God through His Holy Spirit, who lives in you.
It’s so easy to lose sight of how incredible and truly powerful God’s love for us is. We need to spend even a few minutes in deep thought about this. We need to remind ourselves of what God has done to have this relationship with us. If we did that, I believe we would cherish His gift of salvation and our relationship with Him so much more than we do.
He loves you and longs for relationship with you. He died for you so that you could be holy and blameless before Him — so you could approach the throne of grace with confidence. Let’s spend some time praying and thanking God for this! In addition, let’s rejoice that we have an all-powerful God who loves us and answers our prayers.
If you’re not a Christian, God is patiently waiting for you to worship Him. What are you worshiping instead? What are you waiting for?
Thankful and at peace,
