I read a devotional today by one of the members of a new Christian Rock band, Jonah 33, about having a personal relationship with God. It really hit home with me today.
How often I settle for the "Religion" of Christ and ignore, or more accurately, try to hide from a "Relationship" with Jesus. I put myself or the "other gods" of my selfish desires first and then I feel so much shame because of my sin I try to ignore Him in hopes that the pain will go away.
But Jesus wants to sit down with us where we live and share His love and mercy. He wants us to know that we are not alone, that He has been there with us and we have only to trust in Him for redemption from our sin.
Lord Jesus, thank you for being a God who will sit down with us sinners and share your love. Grant me the strength to resist the temptations around me and to put you first, before all other "gods" that rule my life. in your name I pray. Amen.
