Okay
so I’m just going to say it: I AM FLOORED! But first, I’ll start from the start
of this story. My sister Jessie and I got talking about how God talks to her
and how having a relationship with Him is important because having a
relationship with Him is the only way to get into Heaven. She asked me if I had
a relationship with God and I said that I had one but it’s not as strong as it
used to be. I asked her where I would start reading the Bible to get to know
Him more and she said, “Don’t ask me, ask God!” and so she wanted to pray about
it. So Jessie prayed for me first and then it was my turn. I basically asked
“God, I need your help, I can’t do this on my own. Please show me where to
start reading the Bible.” It was here that Jessie stopped me, saying, “Just
listen.” After a few mere seconds, I heard God in my thoughts like I used to
way back when, saying “Matthew.” So I went onto my iPhone, opened up my Bible
app and like any other time I’ve opened up this app there is a “Today page”
that has picked out a bible verse for the day. And the first thing I see on
this today page was “Matthew 22:37-39”. HOLY CRAP! And what does it say? “And
He replied to him, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect). This is the great (most
important, principal) and first commandment.”
So
to say it again: I AM FLOORED! The reason why? I was also wondering what I had to do to start living more of a Christian life again.
