DEEPEN YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH GOD

Make some time either now or as soon as you can to spend time in the presence of God.

How is your communication with God? How much of your day is spent with Him?
He knows our heart but He asks us to express our  love for Him.
It may be helpful for you to use the following ideas to deepen your experience in God  -

1.  Listen to some praise and worship music, there is so much available in the christian book stores or other stores, as well as sites on computer, christian radio channels. Be aware and selective for  there are some songs that do not glorify God and speak untruths.Close your eyes while listening to the worship music, to eliminate distractions, and dwell on the presence of God.
I prefer to set my morning alarm clock to a favored christian radio channel and I wake up to praise music and spend the first hour of my mornings listening to radio ministry programs before I begin my day. What a splendid way to be awakened and start your day.

2.  Read some Psalms aloud , play an audio tape of a favorite reader reading Psalms, or if you can sing them. They were written to music, make your own tune or use one that was written already for them. Some church books have Psalms in music form, already written that you can sing to and I am sure you can borrow or purchase such a book.  Whether you think you are a singer or not, your songs of praise are joyful to God.  He says so!

3.  Write a song of praise or a poem or even just a simple letter to God, that describes who He is to you and what He has done for you and how He has affected your life. Some people keep a daily journal, others read daily devotionals. Whatever works for you. 

4.  Take a walk or drive if you can, and praise God in everything that you see, hear, feel, touch, or smell. Take the time, MAKE the time. Life today is too full of rushing here and there, overloaded with "things to do". Find that quiet place that works for you and ponder about God, His creations. 

5.  Write down a list of personal names in which you have come to know God, examples like:
  Father, Friend, Counselor, Comforter, Protector, Almighty, Ever Present, All in All , etc..... more are shared on another page of this site.

The peace, calm, love, and comfort that one desires in their life  is accessed through God. The deep longing in the heart , feeling a yearning for something to fill the constant feeling of aloneness  people experience, but can never quite put a finger on it, can be filled in a real and permanent way right now, for today meets change...
So try God, why bother searching elsewhere? GOD is NOT a temporary fix, He is real and very permanent and everlasting . God is not just an hour on sunday or an hour for bible study or someone to turn to for a "quick fix". God is everything, an everyday experience.  He can be your everything. 
Imagine someone who loves you unconditionally..... that would be God.

Think about this; you might share your day with a close friend at your side sharing your thoughts and desires of your heart, and together laugh or cry , or you call someone on the phone when you get a chance and tell them about something that happened to you. They are someone you can talk to that cares about you, but there is no guarantee they are always going to be available to listen and perhaps  sometimes they cannot.
God can be your best friend and He is  always there to listen and comfort you.     

                                           God loves you!
