We all need to have a deep and personal relationship with God, not just a casual friendship with Him but to know Him intimately. Is our faith the product of going to church once a week and listening to stories about the amazing relationships that others have with the Lord and Jesus or do we have such a personal experience with them ourselves? Let’s pray and think about the depth of our relationship with the Lord today.

Do we look up at the cross and upon seeing Jesus dying there do we think “He is doing this for all of mankind.”? This is a true thought, but Jesus didn’t simply die for “mankind”... He suffered, died, and was resurrected for you and me individually. Until we realize that His relationship isn’t limited to the grand notion of a tribe, nation, people, or even the world, we can’t possibly understand how intimate our salvation is, and that He abides fully in each of us.
