Jesus, My Everything
Christians talk a lot about being ‘close to God,’ but what does that really mean? For some, if they go to church once a week, they consider themselves to be walking with Jesus - while others feel as long as they pray every day - that they have a close relationship with their Creator. But if you want a real close friendship with God - allow Him to penetrate every aspect of your life, where God is not only “first” in your life - He is your “everything!” Make Him a part of all that you do - whether that’s eating breakfast, deciding what to wear, making a business deal, driving the kids to school, and every other activity in your day! In other words, be “in His presence” 24/7. God loves you so much and longs for you to lean on Him for advice, wisdom, guidance, comfort, joy, peace and love - depending on Him in all things - for He is always with you - waiting for you to come to Him. Even if you are not totally conscious of how near He is, you can be 100% positive that He IS there every second of the day - sort of like your heartbeat which is always pumping away, even if you are not aware of it. So it is with God’s sweet presence - He will never leave you or forsake you. Make Jesus your everything, putting Him first above all else - and you will enjoy a closeness with your Lord and Savior such as you have never known!
