Point of God

Today and yesterday I wasn't feeling very good. My stomach was killing me. I didn't feel like eating yet I knew if I didn't eat, then I may just pass out. On top of that, I was tired, but didn't want to sleep. I was bored, yet didn't want to do anything. All I wanted was for my mom to hug me. I wanted her to wrap me in her arms and tell me that it was going to be okay. That it would all be over soon. When I'm sick I know my mom or somebody is going to be home, maybe not in the same room, but they are there if I need them. When I am sick, I hate being alone. I want someone to be there with me. After all, misery loves company. I hate being in quarantine, suffering all alone from the pain you are feeling, trying to avoid the pain by sleeping or watching movies. All I want when I'm sick is my mom, that's it.

I realized that the feeling of just wanting someone to say that it will be okay, is the exact same feeling God wants us to have toward Him. He is not just a God who created the world. He is not just a God who sent His son for us. He is not just a God who was in the beginning, is there now and always will be there. He is a God who wants us to run to Him when we are sick or weary or just cannot take it anymore. He wants us to just want Him. He wants us to just jump into Him and let Him carry us for a little while and to assure us that it will be okay in the end.

He is a God who is our father. If we cannot run to Him in our times of trouble, then what is the point of calling him of father. What makes him any different than a god of gold? If we cannot communicate with him and we cannot let him carry us for a while until we are strong again, then why do we call him our God. Isn't that point of God? Not only to worship him for what he has done, but to have a relationship with him.

A child has a special relationship with his mother and father. A christian should have a special relationship with their heavenly father.

The point of God is to have a relationship with him. That relationship where you can talk about anything. That relationship where you feel comfortable. That relationship where all you want when you are weak, is Him. That relationship is the point of God.
