You can make it work.

I used to be in a relationship, before I got into the University, those days of midnight call in Nigeria, once it was 12:30am my alarm rang, then it would be followed by the call of my then Prince Charming *winks* we would stay up all night and talk, till the tarrif was over. Looking back I realize that we actually made so much effort to make the ship sail. 

Have you ever heard this saying  “it takes two to tango” ?  There is a level of sacrifice and deliberate attempt that each individual puts to make the relationship work, once one party stops being deliberate about their actions, the relationship suffers.

It's amazing to note that when God created us, all he wanted was fellowship, he could have lived here all by himself, but I discovered that God wanted and craved for a relationship with us, in the book of Genesis 3:7-9, God always came in the cool of the day to talk with Adam and Eve, they had gotten so used to his fellowship that they recognized his sound when he came.

I have discovered that for my generation and generations to come, there will always be things that will pull you down, there would always be distractions, distractions that would stop you from having fellowship with him, from having time to talk with him before leaving in the morning, these things would always be there, but then we need to make it work, you need to make up your mind, that these things won’t have a hold on you. 

So if I make the first attempt and I fall, I pick myself back up, if I fall again, I pick my self, I tell my self, don’t worry this would work! I repeat the process all over, till I get my result.

Heather Lindsey made a statement, she said: “I hour with God can save you from a year of misery”

So the first time you got talking with a friend, I am sure you did not know all you needed to in the first conversation, the more you kept conversing, the more you knew them. The more time you spend with God, the more you you want to know him. 

In summary, all I am saying is if you love God, you would create time for him, irrespective of how tight your schedule is. We are the ones that would gain or loose.

If you really want your relationship with God to work, then you have to create time, you have to give it what it takes.

Now the question is what does it take. David said in psalm 84:10  better is one day at your court than a thousand else where: I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
