How do you build your relationship with Jesus? (hell, testimonies, believers)

[sandgirl]

I do lots of study and prayer, but my favorite way of building my relationship with Jesus is to find a beautiful love song and imagine He is standing right in front of me and sing it to Him. Do you have any favorite ways you'd like to share?

Each episode of life I go through, He is the leader of each scenario.

At work - He is my manager.

At home - well, he's the best carpenter, cleaner, architec

Marriage - He's the standard by which every husband should pattern themselves

Sports - "Love thy enemy"

During periods of joy, He laughs with me; times of dryness, He's the river in the desert.

He's everything to me.

[Brittanyk25]

I enjoy looking into nature and enjoying it's peacefulness and how beautiful it is. The silence and nature remind me HE made everything around me and it makes me feel so blessed. It is a good time to pray in nature too.

To my faithfulness to my father in heaven and a relationship with Jesus Christ

Psalms 31: 23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
Psalms 89:37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
Psalms 101:6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
Psalms 119: 86, 90 All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. 90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

I build my relationship with Jesus by trying the best I can to imitate His love for others, His compassion for the poor, the sick, the non believers, His forgiveness of those who hurt me, His closeness to the Father..and by making Him my best friend whom I can rely on to always be nearby for me

Thank you for sharing, and welcome to the forum

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ROMANS 15:13

[driftwoodpoint]

I try to spend time in the word and pray on and off during the day.
My outlet in life is riding my Honda Helix. I really use that for my quiet time and I talk to God and have a praise time. I thank him for his wonderful creation, how diverse the animal kingdom is, how amazing that the crops grow from seeds, how neat it is that the sunrise and sunset are different every day. Sometimes I sing....that way no one can hear

Hello and greetings to you.
I thank you very much for your warm greeting. Some time ago I was thinking how I could pray to Christ's so I read it the Psalm of Bible, I fell compassion. So I went through the Psalm and began to put some versus together and made a prayer about Gods mercy. I like to give you and share this for you and your friends I hope that you feel compassion as I did when I wrote them. I see your words and your compassion for nature thats is cool.
if it seeking too much please let me know it's just a person that God shaped me into. Peace

Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word. Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. I am a stranger in the earth; hide not thy commandments from me. My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times. Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments. Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies. Princes also did sit and speak against me; but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.
Read (Psalm 119:1-24)
In Jesus Christ name I pray.

Well, as I'm worshipping God, I imagine him sitting on his throne and me knelling down at his feet worshipping him. Also, God said that he is our Father, so I also like to imagine times when I am lonely or hurt, and I just sit on God's lap and just lay in His arms. I do that when I am meditating. Jesus is so worthy of our praise, and I often think of my self when meditating walking with him, talking with him, singing to him, holding his hand, worshipping him. There are so many ways that I imagine. But the best part of it is, the feeling that I get, and hearing his voice.
