Amazing how Christians can bow down and proclaim God is amazing, God is good, God is almighty, and then hate him when he places you in a situation you deem unfavorable. Amazing how one day we choose to make a covenant with God to walk closely with him, and one day ditch him as if he never was good in our lives. Amazing how we choose to focus on the problems that lie before us instead of the big God that is the solution to every situation.
Who of us have fallen into these traps the devil has set up for us? We desperately seek God and expect a "WOW" factor every time, asking for God to just touch us more and we just demand for him to speak to us or we will become emotional and mentally unstable for awhile. We so desperately want to hear the voice of God, that we forgot that God is not slow in speaking to us. In fact God longs to speak to us every second of our existence. God wants to direct us, lead us, and guide us to the right path, not ditch us, and in his throne, pretend not to hear the desperate cries of our hearts. The more we desperately want to seek God, the more we NEED to search ourselves for hidden sins and pride. We as human beings, imperfect beings, sinners who totally do not deserve the intimate relationship of God AT ALL, can still whine about such insignificant things like; "Life sucks... Why God? Why give me such troubles?", or like; "Why God? Why doesn't it work out? But i did it for your names' sake!" Seldom do we slow down to ruminate and think about what is really going on. Is it true that at that moment of time God loved us less, or is it true that God was Good and is not so Good anymore? If Christianity was a bed of roses, if God did not play hide and seek with us, Christianity will become a comfort zone, where people accept Christ for the sake of making their lives easy. We tend to blame God when we do badly for our end of year examinations. We tend to blame God when we fail to experience him and we fail to get touched by him. We blame God when we so desperately seek him and yet fail to find his voice. And when is the time we stopped to reflect and think about our pride, our lust, our self-centered nature, our self-sufficiency, greed, anger? We are too selfish to think about what God really wants for us. We take God as a money tree and as and when we like it, we would activate it and blessing will fall upon our lives.
Do not ever forget my friends, the living and intimate relationship with God is what really matters. It is not all about ministry, being a salt and light, scoring straight As for your a levels, because the love of God extends beyond and is far too complex for such nifty things. God loves us. To what extent? To the extent of the cross, which offered us more than just fulfilling lives, but FULL and ETERNAL life. The living relationship with God is not about how many times we go to service, how many times we pray for others, how many times we say we love God, but it is a daily walk with the savior, who guides our footsteps and shines his light in this world of darkness to light the path beyond, which we cannot see.
The UNCONDITIONAL love of God is something we will take a lifetime to understand, and an instance to believe.
God loves us plainly because we are his creation, his children, and he shows us the extent of the love when he died on the cross for us. That my friends, is God. Who is God to us? A money tree? or a friend? Your pick.

Will we pass the test of faith? Or will we fall to the devils' trap? Don't just blame the devil. Ask yourself, do some soul searching.

Father in Heaven,
Help me to love you more and more each and every day of this life. Help me to overcome this period of transition, which i believe will cause much growth in my life, as well as breakthroughs. I do not pray for miracles, not for things of this physical world, but lord, all i really want is you. I can lose anything else in this world. Anything and everything. But one thing i am certain, is that I cannot lose you. You are far more precious than any diamond ring, any other friend on this earth. You are the only one who died for me, and the only one who loves me unconditionally. To walk with you is my honor, and to serve you is a privilege. Your a friend one would die to have and fight to keep. You are the lord of the most high. Help me to keep a close relationship with you. Help me to become more like you God. The world can turn their backs on me for all i care, but you God, is who i really treasure. Without you, there is no life. Thank you God, for Jesus' death on the cross, which showed the world your amazing grace and love. Thank you for the miracles you have done in my life. Thank you for still loving me after seeing the depths of my sinful heart. Thank you God. In Jesus name i pray, Amen.
