Do You Have A Close And Strong Relationship With God?

God is an Ocean of peace, love and joy and we are His children, who are souls with the same original qualities. When we have a beautiful relationship with God, we can fill ourselves with these qualities from Him. A beautiful relationship is defined by two lines - I am yours. You are mine. Also - Everything that belongs to me is yours. Everything that is yours is mine. A relationship with God is also based on these four lines, if we are really close to God and experience Him very very closely. When normally asked to anyone, who is the closest to you, many will say - my child, my spouse, my parent, my teacher, my sibling etc. Very few will say that God is my closest one. Why? Is it because He is not visible to our physical eyes? Is it because we haven't tasted His love closely? Is it because we do not know how to remember Him? Or is it because physical relationships are easier to connect to?

How to build a close and strong relationship with God? Let us reflect -

1. Let's receive our own wisdom of our spiritual form, original spiritual home, original and natural qualities and our role in the World Drama.

2. Let's receive the wisdom of God's name, spiritual form, home, qualities and role in the World Drama and understand all of these deeply.

3. The third step is to experience deeply that you are God's very close relationship and God is your closest relationship, based on the above two wisdoms and immense love based on that wisdom.

4. The next step is to shape your thoughts, words and actions according to God's wish. This is giving whatever that you have to Him. He will in return fill you with His gifts of peace, love and joy, which will make your relationship with Him beautiful and close.

5. The last step is to radiate that peace, love and joy and colour your every human relationship and role with God's qualities.

The Brahma Kumaris shares this Godly wisdom, which can become a key for you for opening the doors to a close and strong relationship with God in your life.

Message for the day

True effort lies in maintaining inner self-respect.

Expression: When there is no self-respect it becomes difficult to recognise and use one's own potentials. So whatever little effort is put is only to show off to others and to seek their approval. So this further increases such dependency on others. Slowly all effort put in is only to prove to others and hardly any effort is put in for the self. So such effort doesn't contribute to real progress.

Experience: When there is an awareness of my inner potentials and capabilities, and I am in my state of self-respect, I am able to use them for my own progress. As there is the satisfaction of my progress, there is no dependency on the others for approval or encouragement. I can make effort with my inner freedom. There is lightness and enjoyment in whatever I set out to do, and I find quick and easy change.
