Facing Challenges

Facing Challenges

With all the benefits we receive from the love affair, we can better face the challenges of life. We still will face the challenges of life, but they will deepen the love affair we are having with our lover God. This deepening of our love affair will also deepen the trust and then as a result of that trust, we will make the commitments needed in a love affair/marriage. This commitment reflects the trust that we have in our lover.

Assignments

Just as we would do things for a human lover (like doing special things-cooking special meals, etc.). God asks us to do special things for Him. I choose to call these things assignments (like joining a community of other God lovers). This pleases our lover by sharing our love of Him with others. Nothing deepens human love more then when our lover does something for us . Also one of the best ways to show our love is to learn as much as we can about our lover and what our lover needs and requires.

On earth, in an attempt to have a good love affair, we make every effort (dates, sharing our life story, friends, etc.). Well in order to have a good love affair with the Boss over all, we need to make every effort to learn about our lover. We can do this by joining groups of like minded individuals: Christian churches, studying Christian media, etc.. If you are a book reader, you may want to get a Christian Bible. With God we need to study the Bible. Also there are many Christian web sites. All of these and more will help you learn about your lover God.

God Lover

On earth, we learn that in order to have friends/lovers we must be able to share time with each other. Well the same is true when you wish to have a love affair with the Boss. You will need to block out time to spend with your lover God. This time must include sharing your thoughts and feelings. It also should includes a sharing of your needs which is called praying. And of course this time should include spending time learning about our lover God (e.g. reading the Bible, involvement with Christian friends).

One of the reasons our lover God wants us to participate in communities of lovers, is for us to see how they are applying His requirements put forth in the Bible. They are applying them to the daily challenges faced. And as a result of that , they can share how they were able to deal with life. One of the best ways to do this is to join small groups of these fellow lovers and participate in the sharing of life techniques. Make personal friends with those who are facing similar challenges and share with them. Also listen/watch Christian media.
