Now that we know how Satan tried it, I want to share some benefits from having a relationship with God and what it brings into your life from my experience of course. I don’t want to get bogged down in throwing scriptures at people to make a point. I also don’t want to posture like this will happen for you overnight the moment you begin to develop a relationship with God. I do want to share what happens over time when your relationship with God strengthens, becomes more transparent and real. As this is my personal belief I won’t submerge you with information. I will, however, share what I know for sure to exist within your soul when you develop a relationship with God.
Relationship with God supersedes all religions. While I respect everyone to believe what they want. I will not force my beliefs on others. I share when asked. If you don’t choose to believe what I believe, that’s fine. Just don’t feel comfortable disrespecting my belief. I love Jesus but he’s still working on me from checking folks. You believe what you believe and I believe what I believe.
Relationship with God brings peace to your life in the midst of chaos. Chile if y’all knew what I’ve dealt with in many areas of my life, you would probably wonder how I’m still sane. Jesus. It’s Jesus. Because without Jesus I would have lost it a long time ago. I wake up to chaos, especially from and at work. I deal with chaos like many other people in family dynamics. And now I’m seeing chaos in the country where I live because some people feel they deserve to be superior. Through it all, I have a peace that surpasses all understanding. There’s no other way to explain it except to say Jesus rests upon my soul.
Relationship with God puts joy into your heart when despair is all around. I sincerely like who I am and enjoy my life. I’m doing things I want, going to places I want, able to help my family. I have joy because I’m not forcing my life to happen. It’s happening at its own pace but it’s happening nonetheless. And the surprises along the way are just icing on the cake.
Relationship with God is about intimacy. A safe place to be completely vulnerable, honest, transparent & open without being shunned. No matter what’s happening in my life I know I can cry out, speak or sit in silence and God’s there to listen. To hear me. To take my burdens off my shoulders. I feel no shame in my life despite the numerous out of pocket acts I’ve committed. I gave them to God and my shame was taken away.
Most importantly, a relationship with God leads to eternal salvation. I know I’m going to Heaven. I have faith and I look forward to the day I go home to be with Jesus.
Romans 10:13: [for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”]
These are the benefits of having a relationship with God that I’ve experienced. I pray that if you choose to have your own relationship that you will experience benefits that will supersede anything that you could ever imagine.
