Everything Flows from Your Relationship with Jesus.

The depth of your relationship with Jesus Christ will determine the quality of every other relationship in your life. The way you treat people—how you respond, how you forgive, how you carry yourself—it’s all a reflection of where you are with Him.

If there’s distance between you and Jesus, it’s going to show up in how you interact with others. But when He’s first, everything else starts to fall into place.

Make Jesus the Priority

If you’ll focus on your relationship with Jesus, everything else will line up. Not perfectly, but in the right order. But when you put Him on the back burner, things tend to get messy. Peace goes out the window. Perspective fades. And our own brokenness starts to take over.

That’s why today—and every day—we’ve got to make Jesus the main thing.

You Won’t Know God Without Knowing His Word

You’ll never know the depth and riches of God’s love for you apart from His Word. To know God’s Word is to know God.

You can’t live on secondhand truth. You’ve got to open the Bible for yourself. That’s where your roots go deep. That’s where God speaks. And that’s where you begin to really understand who He is and what He’s done for you.

You’re Not the Judge—Just Be Faithful

God’s reminded me more than once:

“You’re not here to judge. You’re here to preach the gospel and share My Word. Let Me handle the results. You’re looking through a flawed and imperfect lens.”

We don’t see the full picture. We don’t know what’s going on in someone’s heart. But what we can do is be faithful—love people, share the truth, stay grounded in Scripture, and trust the Holy Spirit to do what only He can do.

Here’s the bottom line:

• Stay close to Jesus.

• Stay in His Word.

• Love people.

• Share the gospel.

• And trust God with the rest.

That’s what we’re called to do. That’s what really matters.
