My Relationship With God

It has been 25 days since I have seen the love of my life. Not an hour passes in which I do not think about her and how I wish I could be in her presence. It seems that no matter what I am doing, I long to be with Kasey. Everything is better when I am with her. We could be walking, talking, eating, lying around, watching a movie, playing games, going to the beach, doing chores, etc. No matter what we are doing I am happy because she is with me. Since she is like 1,000,000 miles away, I have to write her letters or emails, and am always eagerly waiting until the next time we talk on the phone. She is part of me. Many of the things I do, I do with her on my mind. She affects my life because I want to make sure that I am the best I can be for her. I want to please her and serve her the rest of my life and would do anything to make sure that she is happy. This descibes my relationship with Kasey.
Today as I reflect on my relationship with Kasey, it makes me long for that same relationship with God. I long for not an hour to pass without me thinking of God and being in His presence. What if I could talk to God for hours or even read from His Word without falling asleep or getting bored? I long for a relationship with God that truly affected every decision I made in every day. Is God a part of me as much as Kasey is a part of me?
Being in a serious relationship with Kasey is teaching me about what a relationship should look like. It takes time and effort to make the relationship grow. My love for Kasey increases everyday with every moment I talk to her or spend with her. Then why dont I take the time and effort to grow my relationship with God? I dont really know. But I am working on it.
I pray that my relationship with God will always be the center of my life. That all my other relationships will help me improve or learn more about my relationship with God just as my relationship with Kasey has drawn me closer to God.
