God, You are my God; Early will
I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You in a dry and
thirsty land where there is no water. So I have looked for You in the
sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory.
Psalm 63:1-2
Our relationships with one another are priceless and should be cherished
and nurtured. As important as these relationships are to us, they can’t
begin to replace, or fill the emptiness that comes as a result of
neglecting our relationship with God. Our relationship with Him, like
all others, requires time, attention, and nurturing. It doesn’t matter
how great things may be going in our lives, if we aren’t spending time
with Him, we will find ourselves feeling secluded and alone. It is the
light of His love, that reaches to the core of our souls and fills the
emptiness with fullness of joy. There is no human relationship, that can
fill the longing within us for God. Nothing satisfies our souls like
Him.
Prayer
Teach me Your ways Lord, help me to be constantly aware and able to
recognize my neglect of our relationship. You are always present; I am
the one who has misplaced my priorities. I thank You for my family and
friends. I treasure each relationship, yet You are my life and my source
for all things. Without You in the midst of my day, there is an empty
space, that leaves my soul aching and longing for You. You are my love,
my companion, my friend. Thank You. Amen.
