Our Relationship With Christ

Another lesson! So, our relationship with Christ. I've never really put much thought behind it to be honest. When saying that, I mean that sometimes we really don't think about it that much. We go through our day to day lives striving just to get by. What is our relationship with Christ? It's more than just the time when we accept Him into our lives, but its an everyday thing. First off, what is the meaning behind our relationship? For some, it is to please others, and for many it is the genuine love and want to be with Christ. It really made me think after my connversation with Jada last Tuesday night. Her first experience with a relationship with Christ was trying to please her uncle. I even went through that! I remember my youth pastor giving me a little booklet and then calling me the next day and asking if I prayed the prayer. I said sure...I did! I then got off the phone and read the booklet. It wasn't until much later that I realized my reasoning behind it. Anyways...when getting to the point where you are at "God, what am I really doing?", its amazing. I reflect on when I reached that point, and watching Jada reach that point was more amazing. Giving herself back to Christ and saying "God, I mean it for real this time.", it's so awesome! Our relationship with Christ is not about our friends, our family, or anyone else. It's about us and our love for Christ!!
