"Falling in Love with GOD is the greatest of all Romances; Seeking Him the greatest Adventure; Finding Him the greatest Human Achievement" - St. Augustine
SUGGESTIONS FOR CHRISTIANS who used to attend a Church but don't feel comfortable there now: Church is not supposed to be a cocktail party or a ladies coffee. It's where people who have built and are in the process of building a personal relationship with GOD go. A place to acknowledge Jesus as the Way, the Truth and the Light...to go to THANK GOD. Until you feel solid in your relationship with GOD (maybe you never were but hopefully you will be now) Try doing these things:
- Find a Church (find them On line) closest to you. See if you agree with their Mission Statement.
- Go to a service. Observe the people. Are they praying or 'attending a coffee'?
- Can you follow the service? How does it feel? Don't allow yourself to "join" until YOU feel ready to.
- IF you are not comfortable, keep looking, there are new churches started every 5 days in America.There will be one that you will feel comfortable in. THIS would be a great thing to ask for GOD'S help in finding...to lead you to the right Church ...the one HE wants for you. Remember, God speaks to us in so many ways and the more attuned you get towards GOD, the easier He is to hear.
- Set up a little place somewhere in your home where you keep your Bible and other books and a Cross. Let this be your place to go once a day, Pick your most private/convenient time. This one act of organization will make a tremendous difference in your life and you'll recognize great results from that immediately. YOU cant learn a language in a day...you can't know all there is to know about this one-on-one relationship with GOD in a day, but you can be assured that once you ask Him into your Heart, He is there - immediately !!
- From this moment forward, let your Heart be your 'security system' it will tell you at once when something is true (and when it isn't). Keep asking GOD to guide you. THAT could be your "first thing in the morning" prayer.
