It should be kept in mind that what God is seeking to do – is to develop a relationship with you.
It’s a process – like any human relationship – it’s based on spending time, together – it’s about sharing our thoughts, feelings and dreams. God is not like a distant king who remotely hears about your needs and then dispenses some good thing for your enjoyment.
He is our Father, who seeks to create an environment where we can sit and discuss life’s issues with Him; in Him we can enjoy the perfect father and child relationship. He responds to our prayers in a way that does not spoil us; but which develops a solid, loving and trusting relationship with Him. His responses are unique for us - they are tailored to meet our own special requirements.
As Selwyn mentions today: “God not only wants to give, but waits to give. … Before the Holy Spirit is given there must be a real desire to receive Him.”
It bears repeating there must be a real and genuine desire to receive the Holy Spirit into your heart. Consequently, we all should know exactly when we actioned this desire – if not – why not?
