keep in mind that there is no specific way a relationship with God is supposed to look.

because for one..

we're all unique and made in the image and likeliness of God (1 Peter 4:10, Jeremiah 1:5, Jeremiah 29:11). the plans that God has for us
isn't going to be like the next person's plan that
God has for them. we have our own stories of
being chosen by God and as well as our own traits
and gifts. this all contributes to how your
relationship with God can be. because God knows
your story and all the things that led to you being
here today reading this! most importantly.. He
knows your heart!

Jesus is a perfect God, but we as His followers
aren't. in Matthew 5:48, it may seem like God is
expecting us to be perfect, but really He isn't. rather than Him expecting us to be perfect, He's telling us in this verse to strive to be perfect. it's our intentions and heart that God watches. we're always going to mess up but it's about getting back up and following God nonetheless of our imperfection. it's to constantly run after God and do our best to represent Him. God knows we aren't perfect nor will we ever reach being so as Jesus was (Romans 3:23). So don't think that your relationship is supposed to be perfect with God, because one out of the two in the relationship isn't (pssst.. it's us)! it can be messy at times and has it's moments of being rocky because of ourselves. but the one thing you don't do is give up on it regardless. you hold on to that faith and you hold on to God (Psalm 37:24, 2 Corinthians 4:16, Jeremiah 8:4)! you never stop loving Him and wanting to do better for Him. and that's what God loves and looks out for; that genuineness of your heart 🤍.

now as an emotional person especially??
i knooooow it's hard to not rely on your feelings
y'all. it's not bad to feel emotions generally, but
it isn't good to rely on them solely to dictate your
relationship with God & whether it's good or not.
cause yes emotions aren't bad generally, but they
shouldn't be the first thing to lead you to the understanding of things.. Jesus is. plus, our heart is
deceitful (Jeremiah 17:9) and everything we
feel flows from it as well. you see, the reason our heart is even considered deceitful is because of our flesh. that's why Jesus is the only one who can truly work on our heart because He's what feeds our spirit. So sometimes when you may feel like
you're not good enough for Christ and negative feelings are implanted in your heart—
don't rely on those feelings to determine you and
God's relationship. keep in mind that there is an
enemy that wants to lead you away from Christ
and away from salvation. those negative thoughts
are not of God! get into God's word and have FAITH
because that's the TRUTH. the enemy can manipulate your mind that allows your heart to
respond with feelings that was felt because of lies.
God is always waiting for you to get back up! you
are CHOSEN by your faith in God 🤍 (1 Peter 2:9)
