The gift of relationship

In any relationship it takes nurturing and time to make it grow. Even in our relationship with God. Sometimes life becomes to busy and demanding for us and we get caught up in the stress  of the day to slow down and look at the beautiful gift God has given us in people HE has hand picked for our lives. Maybe its that strength we need at a certain time or that smile that always seems to be there to reassure us of HIS love and their love. Or the unfailing times of a listening ear that helps us get through a weary day. God has ordained people to be in our lives before the foundation of the world. It was HIS plan that NO ONE be a lone ranger. Where would we be if Our spouse, family, friends.etc where not in our lives? Sometimes we take for granted that they will always be there. Sometimes we dont even give a thought to what they do for us. Take a moment... have you said "I love you" lately? Have you given them words of encouragement to let them know you are thankful? Dont wait another day... Tomorrow never comes... and dont think for a moment that they dont need to hear from you how you appreciate them and how much you need them.  So many times we wait to express our feelings and precious time is wasted. We ignore the beautiful gift and it begins to die from lack of nutrients. Witch are your LOVE, TIME, words of ENCOURAGEMENT, a SMILE, TENDER WORD, your EMBRACE, HUG, and the list goes on... Dont lose yourself in giving all your nutrients to what God has not asked you to do. You will end up withering down your spirit and dieing from the lack of water and food HE has prepared you! Your life is too precious to just throw away on the wrong people who suck the life and nutrients that were given to you! Look around you and see that the LORD is good!!!
