Christian Living

I have learned that to 'be in personal relationship with Jesus' means to simply talk to Him as if I were speaking to a friend. I pray at times and at other times I recite Scripture in a meditative way. (View: Prayer or Christian Meditation)

The hard part is being quiet to hear His response. How does God 'talk' to me? Well, not directly. So, no, I don't need medication! However, God communicates in ways that help me sense His presence.

Sometimes, God will connect with me through a thought, word or an image that flashes in my mind during prayer or meditation. Other times I will feel a 'nudge' to do something. Acting on these inklings leads to good outcomes, especially when my motives are right-minded.

Through journal writing, dreams, advice from wise people, even the mention of something repeatedly by others, I've heard God's messages. I believe the Holy Spirit guides all who open their hearts to better know God.

Over time, studying the Bible, prayer, meditation, reading spiritual leaders and listening to wise counsel have strengthened my closeness with God. I ask Him to help me love and serve Him and others each day. My trust in Him grows stronger. He helps me live in ways I cannot accomplish alone.

God loves you and enjoys hearing from you, too. I wish you His peace through an ever-deepening relationship with Him.
