Just like a marriage takes time and effort and intimacy to grow, it can be hurt when those things are neglected. It's a daily duty to do the deeds that draw you closer together in your relationship. As Pastor Bill will share in today's message, you need to treat your relationship with Jesus like a marriage, too – because it is. You need to take the time to tend that relationship. Spend time with Him every day, learning about Him and praying and reading His Word. That's how your relationship with Him truly can grow.
