For God, what you are is more important than
what you have. And what you are depends
entirely on the relationship you have with Je-

from others, and made a huge difference in the
lives of other people. As Christians we are to
live to make a difference in the lives of our
neighbours and others with whom we interact
daily. This can be done, only when we have an
intimate relationship with Jesus. And as with all
relationships, intimacy with Jesus can grow only
through spending time with Him in prayer and
meditating on His Word.
Let us return to our First Love and grow in our
desire to walk in His footsteps each day. For our
lives are entwined with Christ’s. We’re not
called to do a Sunday morning show, but to do
a daily walk. “For me to live is Christ, to die is
gain” (Phil 1:21).
Love
Raja
