Habits in Middle SchoolSample

Written by Rosemary, age 20, from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, USA

When you’re in a relationship or a friendship with someone, you keep in touch with them, right? When they text you, you respond, and when they ask to hang out with you, you say yes. When Jesus died on the cross for our sins, He made it so that we could have a real relationship with God. Our relationship with God requires a commitment and time, just like our relationships and friendships with other people. The only difference is that the way we talk with God isn’t the same as the way we talk to others.

Instead of responding to His texts, we can talk to God through prayer. Instead of hanging out with God at the mall, we can spend time getting to know Him by reading our Bibles. We can get to know God more through all of these things!

Right now, think about your week. When will you spend time with God? How will you do that?
