Building a relationship with Jesus

It took me a long time to learn how to talk to Jesus and I mean REALLY talk to Him. I used to say a Hail Mary or Our Father, ask for a couple blessing and call it good. I wondered why I couldn’t feel his presence, why I felt like it wasn’t worth it.

It wasn’t until I was so broken that I found myself in His presence bawling. I poured my heart and soul out to Him.

“Jesus, I know you love me but why can’t I see it? Why do bad things keep happening to me? Why do I feel so broken?”

When I let it out and told Him how I felt, when I told Him my fears and my doubts and I showed Him my brokenness, I finally felt it. I felt the beauty of pouring my heart out to my Lord. I felt the weight on my heart slowly decrease.

I ask you to talk to our Lord. Tell Him about your life. When you pray, think of it as talking to a friend. A friend who will never leave you, never betray you, and love you no matter what you say. Jesus may already know your brokenness, but He still wants you to come to Him. He wants to have a relationship with you so bad and He wants you to want to have a relationship with Him.

Falling in love with God is one of the best things I have ever done.

Don’t judge someone just because they sin differently than you.

I stopped venting and started praying because I don’t need sympathy. I need strength.

The only relationship that will complete you is one with Christ.

Keep Godabove all.

You thought you were being rejected, but you were being rescued. He has better plans for you.

Give God your weakness and He will give you His strength.

Don’t LEAVE the church when things get tough, LEAD the church when things get tough.

-Father Mike Schmitz

She walked with God. That was her game changing strategy.

Jesus died for you, knowing that you might never love Him back. THAT is true love.

Pray, then let it go. Don’t try and manipulate or force the outcome. Trust God to open the right doors and close the wrong ones.

God created Heaven and Earth in six days. Who’s to say He can’t change your life in one? Stay faithful.

I know you are tired. I know you are physically and emotionally drained. But you have to keep going. God will see this through!

Keep believing. You may be tired, discouraged and frustrated, but don’t give up on your future. Our God is faithful.

When we put our cares in His hands, He puts His peace in our hearts.

When God wants you to grow, he makes you uncomfortable. He challenges you.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

-1 Corinthians 13:4
