To have a true relationship with another person, you have to get to know them. Think about it for a second: Your best friend became your best friend after you both shared time, stories, and experiences. You didn’t just go from strangers to telling each other your biggest fears in two seconds flat. We may say we met our spouse or significant other and it was “love at first sight,” but if we’re being honest with one another, that love was built over shared dreams, deep conversations, and learning what one another values.
But how do you build a relationship with God? How do we get to know a God who wants to get to know us? This Scripture here gives a bit of a blueprint—spend time in worship, continually share as you pray while also being sure to listen to what is revealed to you, and be thankful no matter what comes your way in life. The more we can spend time with God, through the Word and prayer, the stronger our relationship will be.
Is there a half hour or hour of your time you can dedicate to relationship-building each day? Challenge yourself to worship, pray, and spend some time in Scripture, being sure to give it your entire focus.

The world can sometimes feel full of disappointments and difficult circumstances. The idea of joy may seem too lofty. Joy is something we choose to see, no matter the circumstances. A joy we choose to feel, even when the world feels empty and cold, and one that shows us we were meant for more than we know. Let's discover the elevated life of joy that is our gift from God.
