“Draw Near to God”

Drawing near to God and having a relationship with Him should be our priority before we pursue marriage.

“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” James 4:8

God wants us in His forever fellowship. That’s why He sent His only Son Jesus to the cross to pay our sin penalty and be raised from the dead so all who turn from their sins to faith in Christ as Lord, truly devoting their hearts and lives to Him, are forgiven and given an everlasting relationship with Christ that we couldn’t otherwise have because of our sins and His holiness.

He not only wants us in His fellowship. He wants us close to Him. Near to Him. In His presence. Communing with Him. Speaking to Him. Hearing from Him. Experiencing Him. Enjoying Him. Learning from Him. In pursuit of Him. Passionately. Adoring Him. Adoringly. Worshiping Him. Praising Him. Growing in His image. Following Him. Revering Him. Obeying Him. Honoring Him. Being in close company with Him. Drawing closer and closer to Him.

What, or whom, is your greatest passion in life? Is it Jesus? He is to be our first love. And how we spend our everyday lives will reveal if our greatest passion is the Lord – or not.

Do you need to make some changes, friend? Or can you honestly say the Lord Jesus Christ is your highest priority? Your greatest love? And the one to whom more than anything or anyone you desire to draw close and closer still?

Drawing near to God because He loved us first.

Come Back to Jesus!

How about you, friend? May I ask you this? Have you turned from your sins and received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Is your life truly devoted to Him? Do you bear the fruit of a life lived for Christ? And, if so, are you taking the love, time, and care daily to tell the world about Him? Are you sold out to Jesus? And to telling people the only way to everlasting life is through Christ?

Three Must-Have’s for Us All

The Spirit of Christ put three words on my heart one day. Not just words. Must-have’s. Necessities. Vitally important ingredients to a forever relationship with God. Exceedingly important aspects of having a close, intimate, ever-growing personal relationship with Christ as Lord. Key elements of being God’s kids. Of being on the highway to heaven instead of the pathway to hell and the lake of fire. Fundamental components of living a life pleasing and honoring to God. Absolute necessities in receiving rewards in heaven for how we who follow Jesus have lived on this earth.

When God Chooses Your Life

What if you surrendered your life 100% to the Lord Jesus Christ? Not holding anything back? Willing to yield to Him your plans, dreams, agenda, calendar, time, heart, your work life, your social life, your entertainment life, your romantic life, your family life, your travel life, your sports and hobby life, your housing, your plans, your absolutely everything? Would your life look the same as it does right now? Or would it be entirely different? Or perhaps somewhere in between?

Reposition Yourself

Mr. Simeon puts his trust totally in me. Having me in sight at all times is exceedingly important to him. So much so that I either need to lift and move his body for him so he can lie on his bed facing me. Or he may even try himself to shift his head and body enough to get me in view. Mr. Simeon must reposition himself or be repositioned in order to be content. If he finds that his focus is not on me, he wants to be repositioned so that it is. Not all the time, as he does love his naps and such. But much of the time!
