My Jesus by Anne Wilsonნიმუში

As I was growing up, my parents made sure I had a rich understanding of who God is and what His Word says. Yet the transition from the head knowledge about God to the heart relationship with Him was a personal choice. It is the same for you. You may know as much as my childhood preacher does about God, but everything changes when you’ve chosen to believe in Him with your heart.

That happened when I realized all I had learned about God was true, and I encountered Him as a person who wanted to have a relationship with me. All those times of watching the movie of Jesus’ years on earth and seeing His interactions with people in their everyday lives suddenly became real to me. I experienced Him as Immanuel—“God with [me].” He is the God who enters real life with us and makes His presence known in everyday situations because He wants a personal relationship with us. It is why the Son of God came, died, and rose again. Whether you’ve never known Him, only had a head knowledge of Him, or presently walk in a personal relationship with Him, I invite you into a deeper and more intimate relationship with Jesus. There is always more.

Prayer

Father, thank You for loving me and sending Your Son to die for me. Please be with me as I seek to know You and to have a personal relationship with You. Amen.
