the bread giver

I love bread. All the bread, all the time.

Pastries are a favorite, and baking with bread is now a new favorite past time. But my favorite bread is the Word.

I have learned the most important part of my day is when I wake up to sit at the Lord’s table and break bread with Him.John 6:35 He provides the best nourishment, I never lacked any good thing when I make this time a priority.

So to answer the question, it is my relationship with the bread giver, the Lord God. Having a relationship with Him has had the most positive impact on me.

He has many names, most know Him as God. I call Him my Heavenly Father. But He is also known as the Word.

The Word which most call the Bible, is the inspired Word of God [John 1] which is also known as the bread of life.

Throughout the scripture, the stories and the prophecy all give account to the Creator God and Father of all that lives above, upon and below, He is the truth and source of all encouragement which gives courage in faith in our lives.

It doesn’t start with us going to Him, it started with Him coming to us, seeking the lost, giving us an invitation to the Kingdom of God. [Luke 19:10]

Accepting the Gospel message is the first step, it means saying yes to learning from Him, asking His counsel on all things life. Learning to take every decision to Him and choosing at every crossroads His way. It’s a daily surrender to make Him your priority and not an option for when you need help in a fix or emergency.

Many who hold onto the world and want only His benefits, are never satisfied in their lives. It only works if we live with Him daily, and choosing to do so, is life changing.

I know and believe His plans are for us not against us. [John 3:17]

Because God the Father, came to us in flesh through His son Jesus Christ, this reveals a lot about His character. [John 1:14]

It required Him leaving a perfect place in Heaven to live in the most humble way, ministering and showing us the way, the truth and giving us the light in which we walk in todays dark world. [Ish 9:2]

When we answer the knock on our hearts from Him, He promises to come in to our hearts and sit with us so that we may learn from Him the matter of His love for us. [Rev 3:20]

As a result we learn to love Him with our whole heart, mind and soul. Then He can do His good will in and through us.

Yes, there are times when I roll over in bed and want more sleep, only to have no quiet time later. But I find that when I purposely sit with Him, I am a better person towards family and friends. Even to perfect strangers. Remembering when He says to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul and to love your neighbor as yourself, this can only be done by first loving Him.

The relationship goal here is to develop as much trust possible, so that when trials and tribulations come I will know and believe God has worked it out and will make a way for me to overcome those times.

This is the only relationship I’ve ever experienced such trust and safety.

So, today if you are hearing a knock on your heart, answer this personal invitation. It will be the most positive relationship you will ever encounter.

In Christ Love, Amen
