*How to Get Comfortable with God *by Joyce Meyer

*Do you know how much God loves you? *

*God proved His love for us through His Son, Jesus, who died for our
sins.
But, for some reason, it's hard to carry on a conversation with Him. We
can
be so distant. *

*I bet God really gets a kick out of how some of us talk to Him. We can
be
so serious and formal. "Oh, Lord Most Higheth! Howeth my heart doth
longest
for Thee!"*

*We need to get comfortable with God. I don't mean disrespectful, but we
should know that He loves us and that we don't have to be afraid of Him.*
*

**The Importance of Spending Time with God*

*First Corinthians
8:6*<http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%208:6;&vers
ion=51;>
* says that God created us to live for Him He's given us the gift of life
and He wants us to enjoy it! *

*You can have a joyful, fulfilling life by living in close, personal
relationship with God. But in order to get there, you have to spend time
with Him. God doesn't want to just be the button we push when we have an
emergency. *

*Whether we know it or not, without God, we are always in an emergency.
Without Him operating in our lives, helping and protecting us, there isn't
one of us who knows one iota about anything we're doing! *
*Unlimited Time, Unlimited Blessings*

*You and I can spend as much time as we want with God. We have an open
invitation to invite the Creator of the universe into our life each day.
We
get to speak to Him personally and read the book of instruction that
holds
the answers to everything in life. *

*The devil doesn't like that. That's why he works so hard to tell us that
God doesn't want to be around us if we're not perfect. I've got a news
flash: We aren't ever going to be perfect. That's why Jesus went to the
cross for us! *

*We can go to our heavenly Father as often as we like and He will never
get
tired of us coming. The Bible says we can **come boldly before
God*<http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%203:12;&version=5
1;>
* fellowship with Him, and have our needs met. *

*James
4:8*<http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%204:8&version=NASB>
* says, Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. God the Father
longs
to fellowship with you. The moment you accepted Christ into your heart,
God
made His home in you. So kick up your feet, get cozy and enjoy the
company*
