You Have Been Invited!

Quick Question… How is your relationship with Jesus? Yep, I asked it – but will you answer it honestly? Right now, today, which of these answers best describes you…

o I know about Him, but I cannot say that I know Him.

o I say that I know Him because I accepted Him as my Savior years ago, and I go to church, but I can’t really say that I have a real relationship with Him.

o I love the Lord and am active in my church and studying my Bible, but to be honest – I have no idea what “intimacy with Jesus” even means.

o There have been times in my life where I have experienced intimacy with Jesus, but right now I am struggling to feel that.

o I do experience an intimacy with Jesus, but I know that there is always more and I am ready for it.

Do you know that most Christians have no idea what it means to have a relationship with Jesus? They use “relationship with Jesus” as a way to say that they have accepted Him as their Savior. How do I know – because I did that. I would have told you that I had a great relationship with Jesus, when in reality I did not. Even after accepting Jesus as my Savior, I went on to live for me for many, many years – but would have told you I was living for Him.

Why did I do that? Because I didn’t know there was more. No one told me about this beautiful relationship I could experience. Or maybe they tried to mention it, but I couldn’t understand what they meant. But, I don’t want you to be like me. I want you to step boldly into an intimate relationship with Jesus. My goal is for you to stop making excuses and start making time for Him. I want you to increase the room in your heart for Him and then be filled with love for Him to a place of overflowing. And do you know what else? I want you to feel totally comfortable talking about Jesus and sharing Him with others. Do you want that? Do you want intimacy with Jesus?

If yes, then I have great news.

Nothing matters more.

It is my prayer that you will accept His invitation and that you will not only accept Him as your Savior – but go deeper, and deeper and deeper still in your relationship with Him until the day that you are standing face to face.

Let’s talk about it. Invite your friends to subscribe to this blog and follow the Facebook page, Pam Pegram. I will go LIVE every Wednesday at noon sharing scripture and talking openly and honestly about how we can go deeper in our relationship with Jesus. Mark your calendar and set your alarm and together let’s do what matters most.

“Have I been with you so long and yet you have not known Me, Philip?”
