When I think back on my deepest formed relationships in life and how they were developed it is abundantly clear that those relationships developed by investing time in one another.

 

We can spend time with people and then we can invest time with people. 

 

When we invest in a deeply connected manner we yield a return on our investment. 

When we spend time, I see it as the more superficial experiences where we exchange pleasant sterile formalities that lack the true depth of deep relationship building.

 

Today I want us to consider what it looks like to deepen our relationship with our creator, God. What does that look like?
