Building a Relationship with God - Part 2

The next part of building a relationship with God is spending time with Him. It takes time and effort to get to know someone. You can know a lot about someone from what other people tell you, but you won’t really know them unless you spend time with them. Your relationship with God is the same way. One of the ways you can spend time with God is by reading the Bible. The Bible is God’s letter to you. When you get a letter from a friend, you don’t stuff it away in a drawer, you read it as soon as possible, and re-read it so you know all that it says. This is how you should view reading the Bible. You should be enthusiastic to read it and want to know all that it says. Reading the Bible should be a daily goal and activity. And remember, you won’t make much progress in your relationship if you only spend a few minutes with God. Spend enough time with God each day to really get to know Him. It may be hard at first, but you will find that the more time you spend with God, the more you want to spend time with Him.
