I Miss Jesus

Have you ever wanted to be with someone but it was impossible? But what if you wanted to be with someone and it was possible. Human relationships teach us a lot about our relationship with God. Find out how in this episode.

Debbie Taylor Williams: Recently, I babysat our youngest grandson. After a fun time, we headed home. Hi, I’m Debbie Taylor Williams with Uplift. On the way, I heard a soft voice from the back seat: “I miss Poppy.”

Smiling that he missed Keith, who wasn’t able to join us for our outing, my thoughts turned to the importance of relationships—family ones, but also heavenly ones. I wonder: Do we miss Jesus on days we don’t hang out with Him? Yes, miss Jesus, because our normal routine is to spend time with Him reading our Bible and in prayer.

If this is a new concept to you, consider how wonderful it would be if you were so close to Jesus you missed Him if you didn’t spend time with Him every day. Having daily time with Jesus doesn’t have to be hard. Begin your day with my daily devotional, 365 Days of Praise. Experience an increasingly close relationship with Him, available at debbietaylorwilliams.com.
