Relationship

  OK this will upset some and will liberate others. To be like Christ is not to blindly follow him like a lost dog. He doesn't need anyone to follow him, the disciples didn't and we should not either. Ok, ok, let me explain before you claim heresy hehehe. Are the hairs on your neck standing up yet? Just set back and listen for a minute please.
   Jesus taught the disciples how to develop a relationship with the Father just as he has. The greatest gift Jesus could give the disciples was not another miracle but a deep relationship for the time after he would leave. He knew they would be left with nothing else. Just as to come later Paul would only have this same relationship to grasp a hold of, even in the darkest of times.
  Could you imagine if you had such a relationship with Jesus that you died truly of self and walked in the glory of his light? It is very near yet so many times we put Jesus on termed belief. We say that we trust him with all but immediately take control of some areas thinking all the while "I got this part". The biggest area I have seen Christians fall into this trap is in their finances and no before I go any further this is not about tithing that is a blog all by its self and churches cringe at my view on that.
    I can tell you the truth knowing the fathers will for my life has changed my life forever. HAHAHHAHAHA got you didn't I, try trusting in the fathers will for my life is more realistic. I don't have to know the end broke or rich what real concern is that over all the lost souls in this world. Jesus walked and loved as a true friend would and was always honest and true. The sad part is if we look deep inside ourselves. I'd say hes a better friend to us than we are to ourselves. We trick ourselves, lie to ourselves, condemn ourselves and make ourselves out to be false prophets just so people will like us or admire us. What a treacherous journey we put ourselves in all for the sake of denying the one who gave his life to save us. Please my dear friends, again I plead with you spend time in conversation with God our heavenly father. You'll be amazed at the journey he has in store for you. Really its the truth Love Always Justin
