Listen to Today's Devotion

Healthy marriages have a sense of tenderness and honesty and ongoing communication. The same is true in our relationship with God. Sometimes we go to him with our joys, sometimes our hurts, but we always go. And as we go, the more we go, the more we become like him. Paul says we’re being changed from “glory to glory.”

And just as in marriage, communion with God is no burden. Indeed, it’s a delight. The Psalmist says, “How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty! My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God” (Psalm 84:1-2 NIV). Nothing—nothing—compares with it!
