God, You are... Mine.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
-John 3:16

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
-Psalm 139:14

These verses show how God is a very personal God. He sent His Son to die for me, and he made me just how I am. He is MY God. And that may sound a little selfish just on the surface, but think about it. Would you rather think of God as a being that deals with everyone all the time and barely has time for you, or think of Him as a loving, caring Father that is all consumed with what you're going through and what you need? Now, of course God is there for everyone all the same but that's so hard for us to fathom that I like to just take Him as my own God. I am His, and He is mine. You can disagree and say that God is a totally removed God so far away that He can barely hear our prayers much less answer them,but, I would ask why would you want to think that? The Bible shows that God is in reality very up close and personal to us. Read all of Psalm 139. I didn't want to put the whole thing because I like this verse most and I wanted to focus on it. But just read it all. It shows that God is indeed personal. He is mine, He is yours, He is ours. But focus on the personal aspect. It will really open you up to listen to God and communicate with Him on a more personal basis.
