The Father Heart of God – Our Faithfulness

How We Grow Cold To God

Rev Ross shared with us that faithfulness stems from fellowship. In a relationship with another person (be it our friend, parent or spouse), there are two ways that we can do to grow cold to this person. (1) Keep away from the person or (2) Become pre-occupied with other things. Soon, we would find ourselves drawn further and further away from this person. And if this applies to our spouse, being away from him / her could mean risking a higher chance to being tempted or distracted by something or someone else.

The same applies to our relationship with God. We cannot be faithful to God without having fellowship with Him. If we keep away from Him or get ourselves obsessed about other things, soon we will find ourselves falling further and further away from Him. May this be a reminder to all of us.

The Nature of a Relationship

Surprisingly, this could be a point which startles some of us. For the nature of a relationship is communication. Ever try building a friendship or relationship with another person without any form of communication? Its just not possible, for this is the essence of how a relationship is formed, be it with God or Man.

If we are in close fellowship with a person over a period of time, it is possible to know / feel the heart of the person, e.g. when or what makes a person feel sad or unhappy.

Having a Plan for your Family

Rev Ross shared that business people take effort to make their 5 or 10 year plan for their business… but why is this not happening with our families? When I heard this, this firmly impressed on my mind. This is something that I would want to do and commit to God.
