Personal Relationship

As Mikey so helpfully points out, relationship with God isn't everything when you're talking about your faith - you need to first explain why it is you're able to enjoy this intimacy. Okay I've got that, but what do I say next? I really do feel very close to God but how do I describe it in words? I imagine it's a bit like trying to explain your relationship with your spouse - they are everything, they are these concrete things, and they're not. The problem with having a problem with this is that I'm left talking rationally about 'Christianity' or 'my beliefs', which isn't wrong but is inadequate. So here's what my relationship with God means for me right now...

I pray sincerely whenever I need to and I know he hears me and cares.

I'm always thankful for who he is and everything he gives me.

I'm aware that he's watching over me and that he's in charge of the details of my life. I see him ordering small things about for my sake and answering my prayers, but I know this is true even when I can't see concrete examples of his care.

I feel him there with me and I know that, whatever the situation, I'm his daughter.

I work hard to follow him throughout the day and to think his thoughts after him.

As I follow him more closely, lifes works better and I enjoy more peace, satisfaction and joy. I guess I enjoy him more, but I don't really think of it that way - though I do think he's amazing.

I can tell he's changing my heart more and more, so that good things that were once hard for me come much more easy now.
