One question I hear quite often is how can I experience a deeper relationship with God?

Well, at the heart of what it means to be a Christian is receiving the blessing of God's

grace and faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.

Well, how can you know Christ more intimately?

Will Jesus answer that question himself in our meditation passage?

We will grow to see the love of God and the blessings of Christ simply by obeying Him.

So do you want to experience a deeper relationship with God?

Well, the theme of this meditation from John chapter 14 is encountering the blessing of

the love of God, holy words of redemptive healing, shedding shame to it.

So accept the grace of God's love.

So for the next 15 minutes, just leave behind shame and unworthiness and instead allow

your mind to center on the peaceful rhythm of breathing and even the gentle closing of

your eyes.

All as you encounter the lovely blessings of the Holy Father, the Holy Son and the Holy

Spirit.
