It is my meditation all the day.\u201d Psalm 119:97<\/em><br \/>\nChristianity is not a legal relationship, it is a love relationship. Ten thousand \u201cdon&#8217;ts\u201d will never make you one iota more like the Lord Jesus Christ. It is Jesus Himself Who makes you like Him. But you need to spend time with Him. I want to give you three factors for spending some quiet time with Him each day.<br \/>\n\u2022 You must find the right time<br \/>\n\u2022 Be focused, and know He&#8217;s there<br \/>\n\u2022 Find a place where you can focus.<br \/>\nJesus said enter into your closet and pray (see Matthew 6:6). That simply means find a place of isolation where you can shut the door on the world and open the windows to heaven. Jesus sought out places where He could be alone, and so should you. I have provided an outline on the back of the newsletter if you would like to use it.<\/p>\n<p>Bro.
