Fresh and New Each Day

Happy Monday! It is a new week and we often look at Monday’s as a new and fresh start – Yay!!

As you move into your day, please do not forget to keep your relationship with Jesus new and fresh also! Just putting on your cross necklace and saying a quick prayer as you run out the door is not how we build a deep meaningful relationship with our Lord!

Think about it this way, if you wanted to build a relationship with a new friend, you would have to do more than carry a picture around of them and communicate shortly whenever you remember to. You would have to spend quality time with them and really get to know each other intimately. This is how best friends develop.

You all!!!! Jesus should be our best friend! To make this happen, we have to spend time with Him everyday. We must get to know Him intimately. We have to talk with Him one on one! We have to make an effort!!

We can’t just live on memories of what He has done for us in the past, put on our cross necklace, and head out into our day hoping for the best! We have to be in a continual renewed relationship with Him daily! He is our living hope.

There is no right way to do this, you just need to do it! I get up early to spend time with Jesus and to renew my commitment to God! If mornings are not your thing, do it at lunch time! If work is crazy, spend quality time at night with Jesus – just commit to do it!

God does not care what time of the day you spend with Him…just spend time and keep your relationship new and fresh! God responds to the faith of those who seek Him.

Go after Him now!
