All relationships experience ebbs and flows.
There are times of exciting discoveries about one another. The process of learning someone’s likes, dislikes, what makes them unique, laugh and feel loved.
There are fun times where time flies.
There are hard times and heartbreaks.
I have found that my deepest relationships are those that have stood the test of time and weathered life’s storms.
I feel known and accepted for who I am: no need for performing or pretending. Silence is comfortable and communication that transcends words is natural through the glance of an eye or the connecting of hearts.
This has been true of my relationship with God.
It has taken time to truly discover each member of the Trinity for who they really are and not my perception of them. I needed to move beyond theological knowledge, to knowing the actual Persons of the Trinity, all of whom are equally God.
It is a mystery and a marvel that it is even possible.
I once spent a lot of time anxiously pouring out my needs and struggles. Eventually, I also learned to really listen and just enjoy His presence. Our relationship is growing deeper.
He is enough.
His presence makes me come alive.
There is nothing like His love and acceptance.
The song, “Be With Me” by Bryan and Katie Torwalt has been a blessing to me. It puts words to my experience.
It helps me to slow down and focus on the presence of God and bask in His love. I hope you are blessed by it as well.

LYRICS:
The world falls away
When I see Your face
Jesus, it’s always been You
And I hear Your voice
Above all the noise
Jesus, it’s always been You
Jesus, it’s always been You
Be with me
I just want You to be with me
I don’t need You to do a thing
Your love is enough
There’s nothing to hide
I’m Yours and You’re mine
Jesus, it’s always been You
I am complete
What more could I need
Jesus, it’s always been You
Jesus, it’s always been You
In Your presence
I know where I stand
I know who I am in Your love
In Your presence
What more could I need
I know I’m a child of God
—————————–
Let’s pray.
Thank You for meeting us where we are and taking us deeper with You. Please help me discover even greater depths of Your goodness and love. Take me deeper into Your heart so we can connect beyond words and I can become all You created me to be for Your honor and glory. May it be so.
Have a blessed weekend and receive all He has for you!

Nice post. I think my favorite part of my relationship with God right now is how he sees me. Truly sees me. Like no one else can. I’m fully known – more than I know myself – and he still really likes me. 🙂
