Falling more and more in love with Christ.
LINK
As we spend time in the presence of the Lord, we are filled with joy.
God, you are my God;
Early in the morning I will seek you;
My soul thirsts for you, my flesh longs for you,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water,
To see your power and your glory,
As I have looked upon you in the sanctuary.
For your loving-kindness is better than life;
My lips will give you thanks.
So will I bless you as long as I live;
In your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul will be satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth will give you thanks with joyful lips,
When I remember you on my bed,
When I meditate on you in the watches of the night.
For you have been my help,
So in the shadow of your wings I will rejoice.
My soul clings to you;
Your right hand has upheld me.
But those who seek my soul to be destroyed
Shall fall into the lowest places of the earth.
They shall be cut off by the edge of the sword;
They shall be portions of jackals.
But the king shall rejoice in God;
He who swears by him shall be praised;
For the mouths of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
Psalm 63
Let us remember those times of falling in love, when we are in love our only desire is to be and spend time with the person we love. When we talk about being in love with Christ it is not so different. Usually people read the Bible and pray quickly as if to comply, this creates a habit, it ends up being a simple custom instead of building a lasting knowledge and intimacy, we must get closer to God.
19 Now, then, seek the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Begin the construction of the sanctuary of the Lord God, so that you may move the ark of the covenant and the sacred utensils to the temple that will be built in honor of his Name.
1 Chronicles 22:19
It is important that we consider approaching God with a purpose. Let us remember King David, it is in this same way that if we wish to relate to the Lord, we have the obligation to begin different spiritual disciplines. The initial steps could be: Pray before opening the Bible and ask for God's direction through His Holy Spirit, ask God what He wants to tell us and thus understand His ways, get to know Him more. Let us remember that God loves to answer our requests.
In the night my soul desires you[a],
indeed my spirit within me seeks you[b] diligently;
for when the earth knows your judgments,
the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
Isaiah 26:9
