Different activities carry different levels of risk and hazard. I often tell stressed out people: “If you need to relax and just enjoy life, you should come hang out and do youth ministry!” Amazingly, that line hasn’t gotten me any additional help!
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.
John 1:12
What is a relationship with Jesus?
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
1 John 4:10
Keeping your relationship with Jesus alive is about loving Him with everything in you. It is not about doing things to see how good you can be. It is about loving Him with every action you take. It is not about playing the "church game" or seeing how spiritual you can look. It is about loving God with your whole being, the very core of who you are.
