This past Wednesday night Pastor Chris continued his series on being connected to God. It was really good.
As we spend time with God the world starts to become out of focus. Thats the way it should be. When we have a DEEP CONNECTION (the title of his sermon)with God, we began to draw closer to Him.
How do we become connected with God? Simple, spend time with Him. The more time we spend with Jesus the more intimate our relationship becomes. How can we expect to know who Jesus is or what plans He has for us if we don't spend time with Him.
I've been married to the most wonderful person in the world for almost 32 years. Can you imagine what my relationship with Phyllis would be like if we hardly spoke to each other. Not very strong at all. But through the years we have become so close we almost instantly know what the other is thinking.
Shouldn't our relationship with Jesus be better than that?
One of the most powerful points of the message was when Pastor Chris illustrated that our relationship with Jesus can be so close that Jesus can hear us when we whisper. Think about that. He wants to be close so He can hear you whisper.
How close are you to Jesus? Are you close enough that even the slightest whisper gets His attention?

I know I could be closer but I sure seem to get His attention a lot....because He is always speaking to me...saying..NO, Not yet, Wait, Only when I say so...you get the idea? So I am very sure He hears and sees every little whisper, whimper, whine, and shout of joy that I make. Thank you for this beautiful reminder of how close I need to be.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you and Phyllis for so many years together...I wonder where you would be without her! :)
Blessings...
