How do you act around your friends versus being around strangers? You are probably more open, more spontaneous, and can speak about deeper topics. Today, Pastor Ron will encourage you to treat Jesus like He is your best friend. If you never speak to Him or open up your heart to Him, it will be extremely difficult to become close to Him. The same as if you’re trying to be friends with someone, but never hang out with them. The key to an intimate relationship with Jesus is to spend time with Him.
