[89] But how do I actually cultivate a relationship with God? - Faith Friday

<p>The answer lies in Matthew 22:34-40</p> <p>Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” </p> <p>Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Love God. Love People.</p> <p> </p> <p>Also:</p> <ul><li>Have a willing and teachable heart (Proverbs 8:32-36)</li> <li>Believe you are forgiven</li> <li>Fast (from social media, food, music, gossip, shopping - anything that creates noise or turns your attention from God)</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>It’s hard to get in shape spiritually when you only work out on Sunday’s. </p>
