Made Right With God

It doesn’t take a great mind to know that the best things in your life are not things at all; they are relationships. And of all the relationships in your life, there is none more important than your relationship with God.

There is nothing better in the world than knowing that you have been made right with God. You can know this thanks to Jesus – because of His life, death, and resurrection, you can be sure that all is well in this precious relationship. Once you have accepted the free gift of salvation, you can walk in the ease and contentment of knowing there is nothing between you and God.

The stuff of life will often try to pull your eyes to look to wealth, popularity, and approval for satisfaction. There might even be trials that make you question if He is there or if He is enough. When you know that your eyes have drifted or your knowledge of His goodness seems faint, cry out to Him. Remind yourself that God treasures you, and you have a hope that you will see Him one day, face to face in heaven.

Your honesty in prayer is worth more to your faith than anything this world has to offer, and it’s one of the best ways to build your relationship with God. He is listening, and as it says in Psalm 17:6 – pray because He will answer. He will bend down and listen as you pray.
