Growing closer to Christ - Part 1: Come as you are

Over and over I was presented with the same or similar question, “How can I grow closer to Jesus?” Other variations include, “How do I have a relationship with Jesus?” “My relationship with Jesus is broken, how do I heal it?” So, in honor of my putting my Christmas decor up for the year (I take Christmas very seriously over here ha!), lets spend some of this time of year focusing on the main thing: JESUS! And more importantly, how can you have that intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, too. So this Part 1: Come as you areThis podcast episode is for you if you:You want to be closer to Jesus, but you feel like you’re just too broken as you are. You’ve made way too many mistakes. You think Jesus would never forgive some of the things you’ve done or the thoughts you’ve thought. You don’t feel “good” enough or “clean” enough to even be worthy of a relationship with Him. You have lived thinking that you have to “be good” first, then Jesus will accept you. You think you have to “clean up your act” and then He will see you’re a good person. You think that you’re just unforgivable so what’s the point?I want you to be able to  REJOICE with a new relationship with God because of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. It’s never been a fix yourself, then come situation. It has always been a “come as you are” invitation. The Gospel Parallels: https://www.gospelparallels.com/Dedication Prayer:"Heavenly Father, I believe your son, Jesus Christ, died for my sins. I believe he was resurrected from the dead and is alive. I repent of my sins. I submit my will to you and invite Jesus Christ to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. ... In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen."______________________________________________________________________Have you been wanting to grow that more intimate relationship with God or spend more time in the word but just don’t know where to start?
