With their permission, I’d like to share the following true story. I’d been having a conversation with a fellow lover of Jesus. When I asked them, “How are you and Jesus doing?” They bowed their head. Their conversations had been far and few in between, especially when it came to listening to Jesus in the Word.
I said, “How’s that working for you?” With another bow of the head and tears in their eyes, “Honestly, not too well.”
I replied, “Don’t you think it’s time to jump start the conversation and restore the broken relationship.” They said with conviction with eyes now looking into mine, “Yes, it is.”
This person picked up where they had left off in their reading the Bible in a year schedule and just “happened” to be in the right place to hear exactly what they needed to hear from Jesus at that moment in time. They received both a kick in the backside and a word of encouragement in what they heard from Jesus.
You should have seen the smile spread across their face as they told their story. They knew their God was real and very personal. They felt their God deeply cared about them, enough to talk with them. Their God was just waiting for them to listen.
If you haven’t begun, it’s the right time to begin reading the Bible in a scheduled way. You will be in the right place exactly when you need it. Your God loves and cares about you that much.
