As I sit to have my cup of coffee with Jesus, and watch the sun come up, I was thinking about FRIENDSHIP. You never really know who your true friends are until you go through a difficult time. Jesus wants to be OUR friend. HE has invited us into a personal relationship, based on LOVE, MERCY AND FORGIVENESS!
To build a relationship with anyone requires the desire to spend time with them. With time, the relationship builds trust and vulnerability. To build our relationship with Jesus, we need to study HIS word, experience HIM in the sacraments, and spend time alone with HIM in prayer and meditation.
Over the past few years, I have grown in my relationship with Christ by taking this simple time every morning to turn to HIM! HE has taught me so much. Today, Jesus invites YOU into that same relationship. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, get out your Bible, and sit back and get to know HIM! HE IS WAITING. I think HE likes a strong caramel macchiato, or at least I know I do!
Have a blessed day!
