Early in our journey, we need to understand the difference

[K.m Binil kumar]

Early in our journey, we need to understand the difference between religion and relationship. Perhaps you have seen the ways religion can be rules-based, harsh and stifling. In contrast, our relationship with Jesus should be much different: personal, open, warm and liberating.

Jesus wants us to come to Him the way a little child comes to a loving parent. For example, my wife, ###, and I were always delighted when one of our six youngsters would run up to us, arms outstretched for a hug, and then nestle in, completely at rest and filled with trust.

May I ask you to do something out of the ordinary? Regardless of your age, become a “little child” for a minute. Come to Jesus as one would to a loving parent. No requests. No expectations. You don’t have to brush your teeth or comb your hair. Simply come and linger in His presence, experiencing His love for you. Why not take a moment to do this right now?

Let this childlike action become a lifelong habit. From this place of trust you will experience the transforming power of the new life. Don’t fall into the busyness trap of “doing things for God.” More than our help, He wants us to confidently rest in His care. This enables Him to work through us. His work is inside out, not outside in.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
