I’ve Found a Better Best Friend Than a Pet

Daily writing promptWhat animals make the best/worst pets?View all responses

People open their heart to their pet. You see it every day. Some pets are even called “man’s best friend.” That’s because most people have no idea about who their true best friend really is. Let there be light.

If your Christian experience “seems to be nothing like those grand days of the past when” the Spirit descended on Pentecost, signs and wonders spread throughout the book of Acts, and the early Christians “turned the world upside-down,” it’s time to do what they did. It’s time to hear, behold, and fully obey the risen Jesus Christ. Refuse to separate yourself from God. Stir up the gift that is within you. Completely surrender your will and your life to Christ living inside of you. Let Jesus be your only hope of glory.

The peace, hope, and love of Spirit-led community depend on direct communication from the living God. “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” Later “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” Jesus, the God-man is compassionately calling out to communicate with you. Hear Him say, “Let there be light,” and then you’ll be able to behold His glory (full of grace and truth) and see within yourself marvelous manifestations of the kingdom government of God. Let the King of Kings connect you heart-to-heart with Himself and with other people so that you can continually experience and demonstrate the presence, power, fruit, and gifts of His invisible inner kingdom.

The kingdom of God is about getting your way out of God’s way so He can continually have His way in and through you. Like a pet aligns it’s will and desires with its master’s will and timetable, completely surrender and align your will with the Lord and Master Jesus Christ.

I have chosen to continually focus on, devour, absorb and surrender to the presence and reality of the living, resurrected Jesus and to the testimonies about Him from His earliest followers recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Weekly religious talks about Jesus or the Bible are not sufficient for a true friendship with Him. Fictionalized accounts about Jesus made for TV shows and movies can confuse you about who He really is and about how He is trying to personally and directly lead and guide you every day. Settle for no one and nothing else than a personal, intimate, fully surrendered, heart-to-heart relationship with the risen, ever-present Jesus!
