Build Your Relationship with the Holy One

It was many years ago I believe it was during the Gulf war. I had a dream of chaos and burning fires. It had nothing to do with what was happening right then. It was the sense of panic and fear on people trying to escape their own demise. I was on a bus with screams and sirens. I was saying to them you do not need to fear, but believe in the Lord Jesus that he paid the price of death for you so that you can spend eternity with him. I thought when I had that dream maybe he was returning I got vigilant and pursued religion. I was attending church and talking about God. I wasn't cultivating a real relationship. It pacified me for a while. I was weak in flesh and spirit.  Even though I loved Jesus and gave him my life. I didn't know how to live for him. I failed time after time. He woke me up and l let him lead this time around. I confessed I didn't know how or what to do. I was more broken and lost then I had ever been. I was depressed and barely had energy to do simple things. He rescued me and he wants to rescue each of us. I still remember that dream... I know now that the fire and chaos is the world. Fear rules this world keeps us from knowing the truth about God and his love for us. We do need to believe in him to save us but we also need to trust in him and follow him to get out of the fires the world brings. Don't rely on church or a pastor or any other individual. They might be able to lead you to the Savior but only the Savior Jesus can save you. Put your hope and trust in him. Only through him are we saved.
