There are some things that happened to us in life that shake us to our core. These things change how we live from that moment on.
It could be a medical diagnosis, the loss of a loved one, or losing a job and wondering what that means for the future of your family. When these things come, and they will from time to time, they will affect you, but there is one way to not let them totally get you down.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. In Him we have life and because of Him we can have a personal relationship with God. This relationship always has been and always will be from here through eternity.
Knowing Jesus in a close, personal way, helps us to understand the heart of God. It can be difficult for some to completely comprehend and understand how to have a relationship with someone you cannot physically see and who does not usually verbally talk to you.
When you accept Christ as your personal Savior, His spirit lives on the inside of you. The Holy Spirit guides you and opens your eyes to see and know things the way God does.
Praying, which is just a conversation you have with God, and reading His Word, helps you to not only know Him better, but through the Holy Spirit, He makes the words of the Bible come alive to you. All of the sudden they become personal and relevant.
Strive to keep your eyes on Him daily. When Jesus is your right hand man, you cannot be shaken. Do you live like Jesus is with you everywhere you go?
