Good morning friends. I’m certain everyone reading this feels just as Peter did. We believe and know that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. It’s one thing to believe it internally, possess it as head knowledge. But it’s an entirely different realm when we live it out and develop a true intimate relationship with Him. I heard a strong man of God say this on the radio yesterday and the Lord immediately told me to share it with y’all concerning relationship with Christ. The hard truth is that we’re either growing our relationship with Jesus or we are sliding down the slope away from Him. There is no in between, absolutely no static state where we just stay where we are. We are either hungering and thirsting for more, growing to know Him better day by day—OR—we’re falling farther away from Him. A true relationship with someone else takes time spent with that person, getting to really know them. Are you spending ample, quality time with Jesus in prayer, reading your Bible to let Him speak to you through His word teaching you His ways? I hope we all are, but if you self evaluate today and find yourself slipping down the slope, God is waiting for you to repent and start climbing back to Him. His arms are open and His face is smiling as you sincerely seek Him with all that you are and not just have a little head knowledge. Remember, you can’t stay where you are. So today are you gonna get closer to Christ or slip farther away? It’s your choice! Glory to God and be blessed friends.
