Sparking Desire

As of late I've been discovering my relationship with God.
I find it interesting that the minute you accept this precious savior into your heart, he already knows everything about you; because he made you. And yet, we tend to go through life not even trying to get to know Him better because we already have preconceived ideas about Him.
Have you ever taken a small amount of time to really think about Him or read your Bible specifically for God, not because your Pastor asks you to do it? It is a good thing to focus on what he has done, but have you ever wondered what he will do next? He wants to share these things with you just as personally as you would with your own spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend. God wants to reveal who he is to you, through his word and by conversing with you. That's right, I said conversing. God can use his word to jump out at you and speak to your heart, but if you take the time to listen to Him, you will hear him speak to you as well. I think it is the coolest thing in the world that we have a God that we can talk to at any place at any time and hear his response. I'm not talking about just talking to Him about your problems, taxes, jobs, etc. What I am saying here, is that you can also talk to him as you would your Best Friend. Everything you can possibly think of under the sun, will come flying out of your mouth. The Bible talks about a still small voice that will come to you. He is a very personal God, and even though he already knows everything about you; that sure doesn't mean he doesn't want you to talk to him about your life. The Bible also says ask and you will receive. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Matt 7:7 By the looks of this scripture he will show you things if you're willing to ask Him.
Here is another thing I think is very special, that our loving Abba(Father) spoils us. I've found that a lot of times that by just asking God for something, almost every time I've seen Him get it to me one way or another.
I'm not saying God is your ticket to getting everything you want, that's not why he is here. But, I believe that because he loves you, he will spoil you. Also, there is a scripture that says once you've asked BELIEVE that you have already received it. That sounds an awful lot like imagining it as already yours doesn't it? God moves entirely by Faith. "Faith assures us of things we expect and convinces us of the existence of things we cannot see." Heb 11:1 God's word translation. We need Faith to completely believe in our God, because we can't see Him, yet we know he's there. "Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you." Mark 11:24 NASB. But, always remember that just because you believe in if it, and it doesn't seem to be happening right away, that doesn't mean it is not coming at all.
My best friend once told me these very true and inspirational words, "There is only hope so long as you are willing to fight for it." These words stick with me wherever I go. Always remember that God does want to spend time with you, and he wants to not only hear from you what is important to you and see your desires come through, but he also wants to reveal more of himself to you; on a much deeper level.
Love you guys!
