Wk 26: Gonna get myself connected!

Last night at the churches together event Steve spoke about being connected to God in a real and life changing way.

The verse was John 10v10 "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full"

It got me thinking a lot about my life and my connection with God. To be honest there are times when I find it hard to feel connected with God. Life gets busy or whatever and that connection get broken.

BUT Jesus came to give us a full and "connected" life.

So how do we achieve this? Firstly we (and I included myself in this) need to recognise our weaknesses and our struggles - and ask God's help. Second I guess we need to put some effort in. There is a verse in Joshua that says:

"Do not let this Book of the Law (the bible) depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be proposerous and successful" (Joshua 1v8)

Being a Christian and maintaining that connection is a gift of Grace from God, but we need to show how important that gift is to us by working at our relationship with God, seeking to be connected with him.

Why don't you think about this week one way in which you can help yourself to stay closer to God, and why not think of one way you could help someone else connect or reconnect with God.
