Fall in Love with Jesus

Deuteronomy 7:9 – Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

Are you wary about meeting new people or making new friends? I know that I am. 

Due to past experiences, I am very cautious about making new friends.  I tend to be very guarded at times because of the unknown and not wanting to get hurt.

Thankfully, there is One who always has our best interest at heart.  He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Hebrews 13:5 – Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Sadly, we tend to keep Him at arm’s length only calling on Him when we think we need His help. Or we call on Him when we have an urgent need.

It’s hard to love someone you don’t know.  In order to Fall in Love with Jesus, we must truly get to know Him.

Getting to know someone takes time and perseverance.  Keep a positive outlook and enjoy getting to know Him by spending time studying His Word.
