Today I am reminded of God's desire for fellowship with us. He has actually engraved this in our souls, hence the need for mankind to be relational.
He is a relational God, we do what we do for Him because we love Him and not because we have to-right? Isn't this how relationships work?
I thought that because serving God is often regarded as a difficult sacrifice, he forces His will upon us! I was wrong! God wants us to get to a point that, based on our relationship with Him, we can't help but serve and Honour Him. The interesting part is that He waits for us to get to that point.
My prayer recently was, Lord please don't give me either/ or, I prefer a specific instruction and please make sure I carry it out. This is when I felt the Holy Spirit challenging me: "you need to get to a point where you choose,' choose to serve because you love Him.
And if it seems evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose ye this day whom ye will serve...but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. (Joshua 24:15)
