relationship
More and more i'm getting desperate about my relationship with God and having one, rather than a theology, or systems or facts or nice sayings. Having a relationship with an invisible, powerful, loving, awesome, slightly strange, interested, interesting, unpredictable, never changeing God is amazing and some times quite difficult to work out...
so in friendships different things are appropriate at different times.
Like you don't tell someone you've just met the most intimate details of your thoughts...
You don't hold someones hand the first time you meet someone.
So the big question is: are there things in our relationship with God that are not appropriate at differet times or stages.
If relationships develope over time, are different behavours, experssions and ways of relating good at different times?
Do we allow ourselves the time to develope the relationship or do we expect ourselves to have the perfect relationship straight away?

It's worth factoring in that God already knows us inside out. He's not going to jump to the wrong conclusion if we hold his hand too early or get a bad first impression.
:-) I agree. Which is soooo good. as I'm always jumping in to things too fast, or holding back too long because of fear.
thank you.
