We'll be discussing...

Sin may have ended the Garden of Eden, but it did not end our relationship with God.Jesus didn't just wait for people to come to Him, He came to us!Friendship with God is not about what we DO; it is all about what He’s already DONE!Intimacy with God is not something OUTSIDE of us, it’s God living WITHIN us!We don’t have to EARN His favor – He’s already EXTENDED His favor.Acknowledge the presence of God. He is with you, He is for you and He is at work!Invite God to take the throne. We will never truly know God until we truly surrender our lives to Him.Enjoy a living conversation with the Lord by talking to Him all throughout the day.
