Experiences

Deut. 11:2 'Remember today what you have learned about the Lord through your experiences with Him.'

Stumbled across this verse this morning...been thinking about it a lot.

How do you get to know somebody? Talking to them. Spending time with them. Investing time into them.

Who do you invest your time into? Is it making a difference in your life? Most importantly is it making a difference for the better?

I can sit in church every Sunday and read a million books about Jesus but that doesn't mean that I know Him. That would make me know a lot about Him, but it wouldn't make me really know Him.

Do you know ABOUT Jesus? or do you KNOW Jesus?

Have you experienced Him lately? Are you investing time into your relationship with Him?

It is only in His presence that I am changed. It is only is those quite moments when it is just me and Him that I really get to know Him for who He is.

Luckily for us, Jesus doesn't change. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. But we do change. And even more so...the people we choose to surround ourselves with have an impact on us. Are you allowing Jesus to be one of those people? Are your experiences with Him changing your life?

I can honestly say...I've experienced Jesus. Better yet, I am experiencing Him. I'm striving to be more like Him everyday. In experiencing Him, I'm seeing Him more and more for who He is...He is continuing to show me more and more of Him...I'm falling in love all over again.

Invest your time in something worthwhile...something meaningful...something that gives you purpose and significance...something that wont disappoint...something that will always love you...something solid...something you can trust...invest your time in Jesus.

Once you experience Him you will NEVER be the same.
