Title: How to Build Our Relationship with Jesus in Our Hearts
Key Verses:
John 15:4–5 — “Remain in Me… apart from Me you can do nothing.”
Psalm 27:4 — “One thing I ask… to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and seek Him in His temple.”
Matthew 11:28–30 — “Come to Me, all you who are weary…”
James 4:8 — “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
Colossians 3:16 — “Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly…”
Devotional Core:
Relationship with Jesus isn’t built through religious effort, but through consistent, surrendered nearness. It begins not with activity, but with abiding — choosing to dwell in His presence through Scripture, silence, honesty, and trust. The goal isn’t productivity; it’s intimacy. And intimacy grows not in noise, but in the quiet return of the heart that says, “I belong to You.”
lyrics from Zeb of Virginia Beach Church
from his song My Heart Has Found A New Home
I was lost but now I’m found
I was blind but now I see
I was walking on rocky ground
but now I’m saved yeah now I’m free – FREE!!
never saw the sun shine before
but now I see the Son of the Lord
never saw an angel’s glow
I never believed yet now I know
He reached out for me for oh so long
and now He’s the center of every song
but with Jesus oh yes Jesus, oh yes Jesus
my heart has found a new home
from his song “All In For Jesus”
ain’t gotta go it alone here
ain’t gotta figure it out
ain’t gotta fight your battles
against the darkness filled with doubt
ain’t gotta drown in your sin
ain’t gotta swim in your fear
if you want a life in joy forever
then just come on over here and be
All in for jesus now
Prayer:
Lord, I’ve tried to earn closeness with You through doing.
But today, I choose simply to be near.
Meet me here—in this breath, this silence, this surrender.
Let my heart be Your home.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
