God and I have been spending some good time together recently…which typically means He has also been stirring the proverbial pot of my spiritual life. This week the focus has been on how I see God in my life. Is He a friend? A Father? A Guide? Exactly how do I see Him in my daily life…and how am I supposed to see Him? This has led to some interesting discoveries and prayers.
I think I mentioned that I started a new devotional book a few weeks ago. It’s called Walk with God by Chris Tiegreen and it has been awesome! God is using this book to do a number in my walk with Him (funny how they got the title right). 
Yesterday’s reading has stuck with me because it hits a tender spot…and one that I think is true for most people:
We just want direction, not God. We don’t want to put in the time and effort for a life-changing relationship with Him. (page 40)
Now, I can honestly that this is not true for me…at least not anymore! It used to be. And in a big way. I wanted God to solve all of my problems and just give me some direction. And I would get frustrated when He didn’t do it (or at least when He didn’t do it the way I thought He should). I saw God as a type of road map for my life. He has broken—or is in the process of breaking—that in me. I truly do desire a relationship with Him more than just directions.
That has taken a lot of time and work. But it is God’s doing. This got me wondering about how else we see God? Any you want to share….?
