How good is your relationship with Jesus? Jesus Christ doesn't want a relationship where you visit Him once a week on Sundays, just because it's Sunday and it's the thing to do. No, Jesus wants to have a deep, intimate, daily relationship with you. No matter where you've been or what you've done, Jesus loves you and wants you to know Him in a deep and beautiful way. I can't have a good friendship with you if the only time we spend together is these three minutes where I talk and never hear the sound of your voice. The precise same thing goes with Jesus Christ.
The only way you can have a deep relationship is for there to be an continuing dialogue between God and yourself. A continuing dialogue means that you don't just read God's Word, but you talk with Jesus and wait on His response. Whether it's in His Word or that small whisper on your heart. Or any way God chooses to respond to you.
A relationship with Jesus is such a beautiful thing and I want each one of you to experience it, because believe me, there's no relationship like it. Just when you think you've got Jesus figured out, He takes you deeper into His character, grace and love.
So today, why don't you start building a relationship that will only grow throughout your time on earth and stretch into eternity? Talk to Jesus not just to ask Him for something but talk with Him like you would a friend, wait on Jesus, then spend time in His Word. Believe me when I say, you won't be disappointed when you do. If you want to have a friendship with Jesus, you must become His child and the only way to become His child is by accepting Jesus Christ as your savior. As Jesus said in John 15:15, those who believe are no longer servants, but friends of Jesus.
