It is so hard to believe that we only have 4 more weeks left of this study! Oh, what a journey it has been and this week really forced us to take a deep look at our relationship with Our Lord and Savior.
On Monday, we discussed two different types of love…reverence and intimate love. We asked ourselves a pretty tough question about our relationship with God and moved on to Tuesday where Martha urged us not to try to hard! On Wednesday, Jennifer boldly claimed with us that there is nothing better than giving up everything and stepping into a passionate love relationship with God. On Thursday, Donna pleaded with us to let go and show God the real YOU! That kind of complete disclosure will help break that barrier and give us the intimacy with the Lord we so desperately crave!
Please watch this video from Francis Chan with me now:
Chan tells us that our relationship with God is not like any other relationship in the world, but we spend our whole lives trying to figure it out. We don’t need to figure it out, we need to surrender and trust God with all of who we are! THIS is the most fascinating relationship in your life…. I hope you believe that and crave it now more than ever!
Blessings,
Megan 🙂

About Megan Smidt
yes, i believe it does.
y’know, ‘in-love’ is not a determination, or a mindset, or a decisive action. it is a REaction. it is a response…which becomes a desire, a yearning, a wanting, a needing. it is my heart towards my God because of ALL that He has done. He first loved us…and has shown that love throughout all time…and is still today showing His great love for us. how can i NOT respond? <3
Well said, Coleen.
This is a journey isn’t it, growing the reverent love and the intimate love that God wants from us. Through this study I’d like to say, “I’ve arrived” but I think instead I will say, “I’m getting closer every day.” PTL
clella, may you get closer and closer every day ’til you see your Lord’s face! <3
I have gotten closer to God, there are many times throuhout the day Gods presence will come over me! It is so wonderful to feel his presence!
