Googling God

     For a while now, I have wanted to start a blog to write about my thoughts and relationship with Christ. I enjoy telling people how Jesus Christ is working in my life and how much have learned by seeking Him. I started reading the Bible on a daily basis about 5 months ago, a point in my life where I had nothing to grasp on to except for Jesus. Not only have a built a relationship through Him, but I am also able to clearly hear what He is telling me because I do have this personal relationship with Him.
     As I have developed my relationship with Christ, I have learned in order to receive answers I have to actively seek Him. It is so hard to hear God's voice when there is no relationship between me and Him. Now that I come to Him about everything, I hear Him clearly speak, "Jessica, this is what I want for you." I can't promise what He says is clear every single time, but I do know He is there listening and He will answer.
     Another thing I have learned recently in my relationship with Him is that Google is not the answer. I'm sure everybody has at some point in their life asked Google a question to see what the "correct answer" is. I will admit I have done the same about God. I have asked Google a question about faith, hoping a Christian blog will give me an answer. While many Christian blogs are wonderful resources, they do not reflect God's specific answers to you. Every individual's relationship with God is unique and delicate. If each relationship were the same, God would create a resource with all the answers. But wait, He did. 
     While our relationships with Him are each personal and different, there is one resource we can go to with the answers He has laid out for us. It is definitely not simple to find the answers; however, we receive them by searching for Him. He reveals to us the answers according to our changing circumstances in this life we live. There is no need to turn to Google. We have an Almighty God with every answer.
     Today, my heart was heavy and I guidance help from God. I felt this knocking on my heart and this urge to read Philippians. I have never read the entire book of Philippians so I opened it and read all four chapters and wow. God was truly speaking to me. I have read the whole book of Philippians twice today analyzing what God is telling me. My heart is so full to know that I have a Lord who is here to comfort me and help me in times of despair.
     In the end, I want to continue to post on this blog in hopes of inspiring others in their journey with Christ. While I may not always be accurate, I know that I have a God who is. I can only pray that others will seek Him and discover the wonderful plans He has for us. Stay tuned as I continue to post about my love for Jesus, positivity, and helping others.
