About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
HAS YOUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS GROWN COLD OVER THE MONTHS OR YEARS SINCE YOU RECEIVED HE AS YOUR SAVIOR? YOU KNOW YOU STILL LOVE HIM AS MUCH BUT DON'T FEEL AS CLOSE AS YOU ONCE DID? WELL, JESUS SAYS IN MATTHEW 24:12 "BECAUSE INIQUITY SHALL ABOUND, THE LOVE OF MANY SHALL WAX COLD."
WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT WE ARE IN THIS WORLD BUT WE ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD. A VERY WISE MAN ONCE TOLD ME THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE WORLD'S SYSTEM AND THOSE IN IT, BUT WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL AND MAINTAIN PROPER BALANCE. THE BEST WAY I KNOW OF DOING THAT IS STAYING IN GOD'S WORD. THIS IS THE WAY WE MAINTAIN A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. HE LOVES US AND WANTS TO TALK WITH US EVERY DAY. WE ALL SHOULD WANT THE SAME THING.
WE SHOULD SHUN RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE WHO INFLUENCE US NEGATIVELY MORE THAN WE INFLUENCE THEM POSITIVELY. SOME OF THESE DECISIONS ARE HARD TO MAKE BECAUSE THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN OUR FRIENDS FOR YEARS. HOWEVER, SOMETIMES OUR FRIENDS WON'T LISTEN TO US. IF THEY WON'T, ALL WE CAN DO IS PRAY FOR THEM AND LET THEM GO. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS HARSH BUT IT IS TRULY A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS.
I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH WHAT OUR LORD SAYS IN JEREMIAH 29:11-13 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." IS THIS TOO MUCH FOR HIM TO ASK OF US FOR ALL HE HAS AND IS DOING FOR US?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
