Ponder these verses on having a personal relationship with Christ:
Revelations 3
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Jeremiah 29
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Hebrews 11
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
James 4
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
How can the Lord have an individual relationship with each of us? How do we form this relationship with Him?
The things that give me the most joy in my life are my God, my husband, my children, and creating things that bring joy to others. God has blessed me with so many gifts and talents and I know He expects me to use them to bless the lives of others. On my journey with Him I have learned so much about His love and the peace and happiness He wants us to feel in life. I started the blog "Finding the Eye of the Storm" as a way to show my gratitude to Him and to hopefully use the things He has taught me to help others find that same peace and joy that is only available through the atonement of His Divine Son. Aside from this blog, I spend my days facilitating a Facebook scripture study group (Scripture Study 365) and designing and creating flannel board stories and downloads to help parents and teachers share their love for Jesus Christ and His teachings with the children they love. I also have a number of classic stories and songs for teachers in a traditional classroom.
