Who is He to Me? 11/7/12

1 John 4:7-9  :  Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. {8} Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. {9} This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

To me, God is my Creator, Savior, and friend.  I feel like I can tell Him everything, whether it's something good or bad that I've done.  I know that He will always be there for me, and that he will forgive me when I do something wrong. When I was younger, I had a very close relationship with God, but over the past few years, I have felt that He is slowly lingering away from my life.  God was a part of my everyday life, and He still is, but it seems like I ask Him for more things than what I thank Him for.   I haven't been reading the Bible as often as I should, and when I think about reading, I get lazy and do something else.  I know that God has an unending love for me (and everyone else in the world) and that He died to save us from our sins, so that we may live eternally with Him, but I have recently felt that I don't love Him as much as He loves me, and that I don't have an as close relationship with Him as I used to.  I really want to use this project to change that.  I'm  hoping that by the end of this blog, I will be close to my Lord again.
