Forever Connected

Your relationship with Jesus – do you ever find yourself taking it for granted? Sometimes you walk closely with Him and other times life’s busyness leads you away. But His love toward you? It never changes. And unlike some high-maintenance relationships, He meets you where you are, with compassion and understanding. No guilt trip about where you’ve been, no offhand comments about why you haven’t called… just open arms awaiting your arrival. If you’ve struggled with connection lately, don’t waste a moment feeling far from Him. Confess your lukewarm heart and receive His grace. Remember that you’re always only one breath, one heartbeat, away from returning and resting in His love.

He will never leave you nor forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV)

Live in Me. Make your home in Me just as I do in you. (John 15:4 MSG)

Your unfailing love, O Lord, is as vast as the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. (Psalm 36:5 NLT)

Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. (Malachi 3:7 ESV)

Jesus, Your heart for me is always open, yet I so often fail to show my love. Whenever my heart begins to wander, bring me back to You.
