the Bible, just read it

This may be too personal but it relates so just wait for it.

I've had one or two fellas trailen after me in the last year or so. They say they love me. They want to commit to me in marriage. They want to spend all their time with me. I was and am always surprised that they think reading my websites is too much for me to ask/want/expect of them. (I can say this because remember they don't read my blog.)

How does this relate to you?

If I had a dime for every time I've heard someone say they want to be closer to God but they stop in their tracks when it comes to reading His word then... well I wouldn't be rich, considering inflation and all, but I'd certainly be able to buy a nice car, maybe. The point is if you want to know God better, if you want to be closer to Him, if you want to enjoy the richness of a deep relationship with God then you must, you have to read his word, all of it, a lot, a whole lot!

Just as some of my most personal and precious moments are related on my blog so are God's most precious and personal memories and thoughts related in his word.

Just read it!

1 - You are oh so right. Many times folks can quote the 'old wives tales' or misquote verses from the Bible. Those same folks can't even recite John 3:16. Another trap I have fallen for in the past; reading commentaries of what others are saying about the Bible. They are ok as far as that goes, but certainly NO SUBSTITUTE for reading God's Word. Thank you for your comments, I appreciate them, brenda (Comment this)
