My Relationship with God

by Emily
(United Kingdom)

I have developed a relationship with God quite recently. After having my mother become disabled after a routing operation i think that God made contact with me by letting her be with us today and also making sure that she could cope with the life she was given even if it meant she had an impairment.

My relationship with God is based mainly on trust, love and respect, common values, time, and communication. Trust is a vital part the relationship between God and myself. I am frequently confiding in Him about personal issues that I prefer not to talk about with others. Talking to God about personal matters is not hard for me to do because secrecy is important to me and I am certain that I do not have to worry about someone else finding out.

I trust and accept God and his beliefs, as well as the Bible. They are a considerable part of my life at home and at College. The Bible tells us to do what is right, and I trust that doing the right thing is the best thing for me to do. I have trust in God that He will guide me to do what is best. My trust in God is received by the trust God has in me. The main example of God's trust in me is His allowing me to have free will and rein over my life. He lets chart my own course in life and trusts that I will do what is right and follow his beliefs and teachings. The love and respect I have for God, as well as His for me, helps build a better relationship. I show my love for God by making personal sacrifices like helping my brother with his coursework and also helping my disabled mother around the house.
