Today, My children, I want you to examine yourself and find out what kind of relationship do you really want from Me and with Me. I desire to have a relationship with you that a father should want from their children, a husband and wife should want from each other, a friend to a friend, a teacher with their students, and on and on. I desire to be everything to you, but what are you desiring from Me and with Me?
You easily come and talk to Me when you need something or desire something from Me. You come into My presence when you expect Me to do something or to receive things from Me. But there is so much more that I would like to share with you and have with you. I desire an intimate relationship with you. I desire to hear from you not just when you want something from Me, but to just talk and spend time together. I want to spend time with you not just in the bad times, but in the good times as well.

I desire to hear from you every day. I desire to spend some one on one time with you. I desire to dance with you, rejoice with you, cry with you, laugh with you, shop with you, drive with you, work with you, anything that you are doing, I desire to do with you. I desire for you to get to know Me on a different and deeper level. I desire for you to really get to know what it is like to walk with Me at all times and really get to know what it is like to have Me in your life at all times and what I have said in My word is true.

How do you expect to hear what I have to say to you if you do not listen for My voice or talk to Me and keep yourself open to receive Me? You cannot do this without having a real relationship with Me. You cannot go into the deeper and higher levels with Me if you only have an elementary level of a relationship with Me. If you are not spending enough time in My Word then how are you going to know what I have done for others and would gladly do for you as well?

You put the block and the hindrance on Me when you put limitations on our relationship. Today I want you to really evaluate what type of relationship you have with Me and what kind of relationship you really want to have with Me. I want you to sit and really think about how high do you want to go with Me. Seek Me today for direction on how to get a closer and deeper relationship for the both of us.
I so desire to have this very deep and intimate relationship with My children, My chosen ones. How I long very much to hear your voice and listen to what you have to say to Me. I desire to just spend time with you as you go through things in your life and have you feel Me with you. I desire to be the number one in your life that you rely on and depend on for absolutely everything you need and would ever want. I desire to be the one that you want to spend time with as you carry out the callings that I have put on your life that you have agreed to. I desire to show you the secrets that are hidden in My Word.

Today, really think about our relationship and how much further you want to go and how much deeper you would like to be. I want you to come today and talk with Me. I want you to share your thoughts and ideas with Me. I want you to just come and talk with Me and sit together and enjoy each other’s company. This is all I am asking of you today. Will you come and spend time with Me and work on our relationship or are you really content on what kind of relationship we have?
