However, it will become easier. It is not that the relationship is hard, the relationship is the most beautiful one there ever could be.

And if it seems difficult to do in the beginning because it's not natural or easy at first, the good news is that God is ALWAYS there, willing, wanting, and waiting for you and so incredibly happy and proud whenever you show up too. Be encouraged, He's SO crazy about you!! (:
