JESUS
KNOW ABOUT HIM
VS
KNOWING HIM INTIMATELY
Knowing about Jesus is like recognizing a famous person’s photo; knowing Jesus intimately is like sharing life with a closest friend who is also your Savior and King. One is information that can leave the heart untouched; the other is a living relationship that reshapes desires, decisions, and destiny.
Knowing about Jesus is second-hand information facts: dates, doctrines, miracles, ethical teachings from sermons, books, podcasts, classrooms. its Intellectual agreement “I believe these things are historically true” without yielding the will. No personal transformation required A person can admire Jesus yet keep the throne of the heart for self James 2:19. from scripture we see crowds around Jesus heard His words, ate His bread, and still turned away when His teaching cut too closeJohn 6:66).
However knowing Jesus intimately is a covenant relationship that trusts Christ’s finished work John 17:3. Receiving Him as Lord and Savior Romans 10:9-10. On believing there is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit unites us to Christ, crying “Abba, Father” in our hearts Galatians 4:6. A helper for us to have and ongoing communion with God.
Prayer becomes conversation, not ritual Philippians 4:6-7. Scripture becomes God’s personal voice, not merely ancient text Hebrews 4:12 fruit becomes evident, Growing love, joy, obedience, repentance John 15:5
1 John 2:3-6.
A new hunger and longing for holiness and mission 2 Corinthians 5:14-17. The apostle Paul counted all previous religious credentials as loss “because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” Philippians 3:8.
Moving from Facts to Fellowship means we repent and believe the gospel Turn from self-rule; entrust your life to Christ’s mercy and kingship. Immerse yourself in Scripture with a listening heart Ask, “Lord, what are You showing me about Yourself and about following You?” Cultivate prayer that is honest and expectant Praise, confess, thank, and petition then sit quietly to listen. Obey promptly, even in small matters Intimacy grows where trust is demonstrated John 14:21. Walk in Christian community Share your story, receive accountability, partake of the Lord’s Table, serve the needy. Keep short accounts with sin Daily confession keeps fellowship unhindered 1 John 1:9.
Obstacles we face are pride: “I already know enough.” Hidden sin: cherished idols dull spiritual appetite. Busyness and distraction: relationship starves without unhurried time. Pain and disappointment: unresolved suffering can close the heart bring it to Jesus honestly.
Matthew 11:28-30.
You see Jesus does not invite you merely to study His résumé; He offers Himself. When you draw near, He delights to reveal more of His heart Revelation 3:20. The same grace that forgives also empowers intimacy,keep coming, keep trusting, keep responding.
“Let us press on to know the LORD;
His going out is sure as the dawn.” Hosea 6:3
May the Holy Spirit kindle in you not just to know, but to have a deep friendship with the living Christ leading to a life that echoes His love and truth.
BE BLESSED

SHE IS NOT STRIVING SHE IS BECOMING!
by Denise Roberts
We often read Proverbs 31 as a checklist, measuring ourselves against a woman who seems impossible to imitate. But she was never meant to be a standard of pressure she is a picture of transformation.
This woman is not defined by perfection, but by posture.
She fears the Lord. She trusts Him. She shows up faithfully in the ordinary, and over time, something beautiful is formed.
She is strong but not because she never gets tired.
She is wise but not because she knows everything.
She is fruitful but not because she does it all.
She has learned where her strength comes from.
Proverbs 31 is not about doing more. It’s about becoming a woman who is rooted in God’s presence. A woman whose life, in every season, quietly reflects His character.
Some days she leads.
Some days she rests.
Some days she rebuilds.
And all of it matters.
You don’t have to live up to her.
You are invited to walk with God and let Him shape you into who He has already seen from the beginning.
Charm fades. Strength wavers. Seasons change.
But a woman who fears the Lord she is held, sustained, and deeply known.
And that kind of woman is not striving to be enough.
She already belongs!

ANXIETY
By Dr. Hilda Ramirez, from Venezuala she is an evangelical Christian passionate about God.,
What is Anxiety?
“Anxiety,” feelings of excessive worry, recurring negative thoughts, irrational fear, nervousness, irritability, insecurity, and recurring negative thoughts. Your mind can anticipate negative scenarios and constantly repeat negative thoughts about unpleasant situations from the past or present. It is defined as a mood of unease or restlessness, fear and nervousness. This entire mental state can trigger physical symptoms such as tachycardia, chest pain, and difficulty breathing; it can also increase the risk of suffering from certain diseases, including heart attacks or cancer
Lasting relief from anxiety is found in the Person and promises of Jesus Christ. Because He has already carried your sins, your future, and your everyday needs to the cross, you can “cast all your cares on Him” knowing that He lovingly shoulders them for you 1 Peter 5:7.
Promises of John 14:27 Teaches us that Christ is the only source of our peace.
Philippians 4:6-7 asks us not to be anxious for anything.
Peace is not the absence of problems but God’s active guard around your heart and mind when you pray with thanksgiving.
Isaiah 26:3 Those whose Steadfast thoughts are fixed on God are kept in perfect peace.
Matthew 6:25-34 God’s fatherly care for birds and lilies is your daily reminder that worrying about tomorrow is unnecessary and unproductive.
These passages do not deny that real dangers or difficulties exist; they announce that none of them outrank the sovereign care of your Heavenly Father.
How does one turn these promises into practice?
1. Pray 1 Peter 5:7
• Name each worry aloud or in writing.
• Finish by thanking God for specific past faithfulness, remember gratitude starves anxiety.
2. Soak in the Word Psalm 1:2
• Choose one “peace promise”John 14:27; Romans 8:32 memorize and repeat whenever anxious thoughts intrude.
• Read Matthew 6:25-34 each morning this week, asking, “Which of Christ’s reasons not to worry do I need most today?”
3. Renew Your Mind Romans 12:2
• When fearful thoughts of “what-if” surfaces, answer with a “God-is” truth.
Example: “What if I fail?”..... “God is my refuge and strength” Psalm 46:1.
• Keep a written “truth list” to review.
4. Engage the Body of Christ Hebrews 10:24-25
• Share your struggle with a mature believer who will pray with you and remind you of truth.
• Corporate worship realigns perspective an anxious heart shrinks in the presence of a big God.
5. Receive Common-Grace Help.
• Persistent, debilitating anxiety can signal medical or psychological concerns. God’s good gifts include skilled physicians and counselors. Seeking such help is not a lack of faith but stewardship of the body and mind He gave you.
Pray
Father, You know every anxious thought before I speak it. I confess I cannot secure my life, my loved ones, or my future. Because You did not spare Your own Son but gave Him up for me, I trust You to give me what I need. I place ___________ (name the worry) in Your hands. Guard my heart and mind with the peace of Christ . Help me seek your kingdom first.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
Hope for Tomorrow
Lamentations 3:22-23. Walk through today with the Prince of Peace, and when the sun rises again, His faithfulness will still be waiting at your doorstep.
