Waking up with Jesus

I've been really into spending a lot of time with the Lord lately, and I'm loving it. I feel like I'm called to keep reading the Book of John. The Lord wants me to know Him, and in my opinion, John is the best way to do it.

I've been following the Lord since March, and I've had trouble with whether or not he hears me. I've been asking Him to make himself known to me somehow, any way He sees fit. So, I know this may sound so insane, but I was watching The Chosen last night, and the last scene from an episode in season two is where it's realized that The Book of John is being written.

I know some of y'all reading this may think I'm crazy, but I do believe the Lord was telling me that He hears me. It can be little things, big things. He hears you. Even when you don't think He does.

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced world, many individuals seek deeper spiritual connections amidst chaos. Engaging with scripture can be a transformative way to nurture your faith. The Book of John, in particular, offers profound insights into the nature of Jesus and His teachings. By focusing on this text, readers can uncover spiritual truths that resonate deeply within their lives. Additionally, community plays a vital role in spiritual growth. Connecting with others who share similar beliefs can enhance your understanding and experience of faith. Participating in Bible study groups can foster discussions that challenge and inspire. The hashtags #biblestudy and #embracevulnerability reflect this shared exploration of faith, encouraging openness to God’s voice in our lives. It’s essential to remember that faith is a personal journey; everyone experiences it differently. Recognizing the signs of divine presence, whether small or monumental, is crucial. This can range from a striking moment during prayer to a deeper understanding during scripture reading. Individuals often report feeling God's presence during moments of reflection or when watching inspirational media, like faith-driven series or movies such as 'The Chosen'. Ultimately, reaching out to God through prayer and scripture is a powerful way to cultivate a relationship. Many find reassurance in the knowledge that He hears them, affirming their worth and significance in a chaotic world. Embrace this journey with an open heart, knowing that your quest for connection is valid and welcomed.
