From where they hang out and what they wear to what they eat for breakfast or what &#8216;routine&#8217; they follow every morning for their facial cleansing! However, even if they know all these details about their idol&#8217;s life, does that mean they truly know them? Does it mean they have built a relationship? The answer is emphatically: no.    <\/p>\n\n<p>This is also how it is with our relationship with God. Knowing things about God does not automatically mean you know Him. Relationships are built through communication\u2014and indeed, two-way communication! If you want to know God, take time to read your Bible (in modern Greek, so you understand!), as these are His inspired words for you. Then find a quiet place to talk to Him. Just as you would talk to a friend. But don&#8217;t leave in a hurry! Wait to hear what He has to say to you too&#8230;       <\/p>\n\n<p>Through prayer, God will soften your heart and make it like that of a child, ready for obedience and love. This is the goal, because Jesus was clear: &#8216;Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of God.&#8217; Here&#8217;s a tip: there will be times when you get up from the &#8216;divine appointment&#8217; and realize that the situation troubling you has not changed. However, something more important will have changed: your own heart towards the situation. Don&#8217;t postpone it, God is a prayer away!    <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor Amalthea Karali-Giannari Do you also know people who know everything about the life of the idol they admire?
