Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with him.
Philippians 3:8-9
Nothing matters except that we have a relationship with Jesus Christ. We can't be saved by our good deeds or our good behavior. Our salvation comes only by our trust in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. By trusting in Jesus Christ we are saved. But how do we trust in someone? How do we feel comfortable enough to believe what someone says and place our whole lives on his or her Word? We must get to know them. A couple builds trust through time together, learning about each other, and a handing over of themselves evolves with time. We won't truly know Jesus, or trust Him with our lives, if we don't know Him. This deep, intimate relationship will only come from time spent together. Don't neglect your time with Jesus. Even though today may be jam packed with busy errands and lots of deadlines, do not forget Your Jesus. Send up a prayer, thank Him for your blessings in life and find a scripture to focus on. Spend more time getting to know Him if you don't already, and watch your relationship grow into something you can't life without. Just as friendship takes time and effort, so does getting to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
