Although you need only surrender your life to Jesus one time, the decision to follow and live for Him is a choice you must make daily. Here are some practical ways to help you develop a deep and fulfilling relationship with the Lord:

• Read the Bible daily. This helps us discover more of who God is and what Jesus has done. God will speak to you when you read the Bible. A good book to start with is Mark’s Gospel. If you are not sure how to find it, look at the beginning of the Bible at the table of contents. Mark’s Gospel is the second book in the New Testament.
• Spend time with God. Prayer is simply a conversation between you and God. Do not worry about saying the ‘right words.’ Just tell God what is going on in your life, give Him your concerns for others and ask Him to lead you. Be ready to listen for God’s voice. This is often not an audible voice but it can be a sense of peace or a prompting to read a passage of the Bible, for example.
• Learn with and from others. Come to church regularly and learn more about what it means to follow Jesus. Get involved with a smaller group where you can more intimately connect with others on the same journey. At Walnut Hill, we have a group called Faith Seekers for those beginning the journey.
• Share what God has done for you. As you discover all that it means to follow Jesus, tell your friends and family what you are discovering. God loves your friends and family as much as He loves you – why not tell them about it!
