Wellness with TrustLoveKnow: Why have a relationship with God?

What does it feel like when you’re running around trying to finish projects all while simultaneously being a good partner, mother, father, daughter, son, and best friend? Two words: A lot. It can be exhausting trying to get from one day to the next without unraveling.

What does it feel like when, in the midst of all that, someone sees you struggling and reaches out a helping hand? One word: Amazing! Suddenly a weight is lifted off your shoulders and you can re-prioritize your responsibilities.

A personal relationship with God can feel a lot like someone reaching out a helping hand in the midst of our struggles. In Matthew 11:29-30, God invites you to take His yoke, which is lighter than your burdens, and find rest for your souls.

Having a personal relationship with God makes our lives better. It gives us peace even in the most stressful situations. Having financial struggles? God can help you with that. Struggling with your mental or physical health? God, through His word, can help you with that too. There is no burden, no struggle, nothing that you can face that is too big for God to handle.

The best part? He wants to do all that for you. God wants to set you free from anything that seeks to tie you down. Rumors, bills, relationships, whatever it is that tries to steal your joy is a weapon that God wants to destroy. True freedom in this life, true freedom to experience peace, safety, joy, and abundance, comes only through a personal relationship with God. John 8:36 tells us that, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”

Why would He even care about setting you free? Why would He want you to go beyond having knowledge of Him to having a relationship with Him? Because He created you. He created you to love you, free you, and guide you through your purpose. You can find confidence in the promise of Jeremiah 29:11 where He tells you, “I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

God shows up for His children. He is faithful, and His mercies are unending. No matter what you have done, His love is unconditional and 100% yours. Start building a personal relationship with Him today.
