A thought for today from John Bevere…

“To a large extent, in our churches today, we’ve preached more of what Jesus will do for us rather than who He really is! As a result we have cultivated many who serve God primarily for benefit rather than in joyful response to who He is…People who emphasize the blessing of God to the neglect of a relationship with Him create disciples who come to God to get something, rather than those who respond to Him for who He is.  He is like no other and none compare to Him. Once God is encountered the promises all fall into perspective. He is so much more wonderful than anything, even His blessings.” (Paraphrased from Drawing Near pg 4)
