As I was taking my evening stroll, I was feeling a bit disconnected from the Lord. So, I asked Him in prayer, “My dear Lord, help me to see You, be closer to You, to feel Your presence.” I then heard Jesus speak very sweetly to me.
Did you know that I enjoy our heart-to-heart connection? Remember when I told My disciples, “No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you” (John 15:15)?
I replied, “But, Jesus, You are so powerful and important. Why would You want to be my friend?”
Just as I was with My disciples, that is how I want to be with you. I know that you don’t understand this, but I can help you. What do friends do? They go on walks together, just like we are doing now. They like to be around each other and do things together. They share their hearts.
I replied, “Okay, I’ll tell You what’s on my heart today. I’ve run into some problems…” And I talked with Jesus about some difficulties I was facing. Then I said, “Okay, now Lord, do You have anything You want to share with me?”
And let me tell you, as we continued walking, He began to show me some beautiful things in His creation surrounding me, in the trees and their fruit, with all their colors and distinct fragrances.
Now when I go on a walk, we talk, and I ask Him, “Can You share Your heart with me, my dear Friend?”
If you have not yet received Jesus as your Savior, you can do so by praying the following prayer:
Dear Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of God and that You died on the cross for me so that, through Your sacrifice, I can live forever with You in heaven. I ask that You forgive my sins. I open the door of my heart to You. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me live in a way that glorifies You. Guide my life, as my Friend, and help me to follow You. In Your name I pray. Amen.
