Do you remember the beginning of your first relationship? The butterflies, constant phone calls and messages, thinking about that person throughout your day. All of your energy and effort went to that person. The dating phase was wonderful.

Many don’t realize that the same approach can be applied to their relationship with God and unfortunately, they don’t give the same attention to it. There has been a disconnect.  

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” John 15:5  

When we are connected to God, He provides all that we need. He cares for us and as a result, our life is fruitful. There is fruit in every area of our life. However, when a person is disconnected from God, their life is fruitless. They see no answers because God is not at the root of their life.  

Seek to have this wonderful relationship with God. Talk to Him, find out what He likes, think about Him as you go about your day. A relationship with God is more than just butterflies and emotions. It’s empowering, and of course it leads to salvation. Be connected to God. Give Him your undivided attention and allow Him to bear fruit in your life. 

May the God of the Bible bless you!
