Religion or Relationship

Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.” has been her life verse.

“My prayer is that the examples presented will lead to a reality of the walk in the Spirit. Perhaps the realization of the need for the relationship with Jesus Christ will be acknowledged and your new life will begin. It should bring peace, joy, and purpose, rather than, “Well, I  had my devotions today.” You will know His presence as you face every trouble, hardship,and blessings. The stories shared are only a few of many, which clearly reveal that the Lord was  present and involved because He was invited to be and desired to be. May God bless you in your new walk in His presence.

Read Romans 12:1 and 2, personalize it in faith, “IF” you desire this rich personal life with Jesus.

Patricia has taught a variety of normal to special needs students  through 2006, in public and or private schools. Presently, she lives in Rhode Island, retired,yet continues to teach  ladies and girl’s Bible groups, meetings and Sunday School. Her present concern is for Christians to understand the difference between being religious and having  a spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ  are two different things. Book knowledge and even training are not equal in daily living.
