A true relationship

Okay so last night I was in a bible study and we started talking about the difficulties Christians have hearing God's voice. That as much as they struggle, and persevere to hear it but it’s like an empty void. As soon as we brought up the subject I had a thought. How can we expect God to talk to us, if we barely talk to him? As Christian's I feel like we constantly strive for perfection (sometimes that is good, sometimes not so much). When we think of spending time with God it has to be a set apart, before each meal, in church on Sunday type of thing. In our own comfort zones that is the only time we "schedule" to talk to God. (expect for the rare turn of the lights, shut the world out, no phone, candles, in awe of God sessions, with don't happen as much as we wish, reality gets the best of us.)
So from there I thought, man if had a "best friend" a true pure relationship I would not only want to talk to them max four times a day for about fifteen twenty seconds to tell them "hey thanks for food, sorry I screwed up today. Read the word it was good. Keep us safe. Bye!"I wouldn't, every time something exciting, sad, annoying, passionate, upsetting etc. happened I would run to my phone, computer, what ever it took to fill them in on my latest. Well why is that so hard with God? That is so rare and out of the ordinary, almost unheard of.We always say I have such a good "relationship" with God.
Well what is relationship people? It is learning about someone past all the fronts, and appearances, knowing them on a private intimate level. Them knowing you in the same exact way, that’s what I want with God. When I get a good grade on a paper, I want to say "Hey God GUESS WHAT?!?!?! I DID IT!!" Every same detail I want Him apart of. (I mean hey He already knows everything might as well talk to Him about it right?!).

I want to take him off the agenda, and pencil Him in for every minute of everyday! The relationship when I am alone in the car looking like a crazy person because it looks like I am talking to no one. But they have no clue I am talking to my best friend! :-D

Loving through his love,
