He is the tie that binds us to God, as well as, the tie that binds us to each other. &nbsp;Before we can do anything else, we have to be \u201cshore\u201d of our relationship with Him.  It all starts with Jesus. &nbsp;Beginning a relationship with Jesus simply means talking to Him. Doesn\u2019t have to be big, doesn\u2019t have to be fancy. &nbsp;Just has to be honest.  I started mine around the age of 12.  One Sunday after church, I was convicted of my need for Jesus. I &nbsp;honestly don\u2019t know what it was the preacher said that made me realize I needed Jesus.  I just knew I did.  I ran home from church that day and climbed the ladder to the top bunk of my brother\u2019s bunk beds. &nbsp;I\u2019m not sure why I chose there, I think in my childish mind I wanted to get as close to God as I could to make sure He heard me.  He heard me alright, my life has never been the same since.  I just told Him I needed Him, I couldn\u2019t do life without Him, would He please live in my heart. &nbsp;That\u2019s how my journey with Christ began, and it\u2019s been going strong ever since.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being \u201cshore\u201d of who you are means being \u201cshore\u201d of your relationship with Jesus. It can start with a simple prayer and turn into a lifetime of adventure. &nbsp;He will take you places you never thought you would go.  He will amaze you in ways you can\u2019t even imagine (Ephesians 3:20 NIV).  He will carry you through storms you never thought you would face. &nbsp;In Him you will find oneness with your Creator.  He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:6 NIV), fight your battles (Exodus 14:14 NIV), comfort your woes (Psalm 46:1-3 NIV).  In Him you will find the peace that surpasses all understanding. &nbsp;In Him you will find Oneness!<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMay they all be one as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. &nbsp;May they also be in us, so that the world may believe You sent me.\u201d &nbsp;John 17:21 CSB June is beach month, we\u2019re all going on a beach vacation together. &nbsp;We\u2019re going to be applying Scripture to these six&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/2019\/06\/01\/your-are-one-in-christ\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">YOUR ARE ONE IN CHRIST<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","without-featured-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=804"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":806,"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804\/revisions\/806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
