God is....God

My relationship is personal....



So, today here I was waiting for the bus and I thought started thinking back and forth about God and relationships being personal.

Now granted, the relationship I have with God is a personal relationship.  I will share intimate details about my life that I wouldn’t just share with anyone.  Just like a married person is intimate with their spouse and doesn’t share those intimate details with everyone.

Why bring this up?  Where am I going with this?

I find it ironic that you talk to someone who clearly doesn’t know God – and their excuse for not wanting to talk about God or their faith is because they believe that their relationship with God is personal.  I don’t disagree, again it is personal.

Just like I have a personal relationship with God – a married person has a intimate relationship with their spouse.  Well I can still ask that person about their spouse, and they share with me certain details about who the person is.

I’m not asking someone to share their intimate relationship with God to the whole world – but can you share who God is with me?
