He is a Personal God

In the Gospel of John, Jesus weeps over the death of his friend Lazarus. Today we talk about how God doesn’t just love us from afar but personally takes on our joys and sufferings, entering into the depths with us. We discuss the fact that God desires a unique and personal relationship with each of his children, the temptation to compare our relationship with the Lord to other people’s relationships with him, and the ways we each experience God speaking to us.

Questions to ponder:
How does God love you uniquely?
Where is God calling you into deeper personal relationship with him?

Challenge:
Take time before bed to pinpoint the ways you saw God loving you in little ways throughout your day.
