How to Make Your Relationship With God Personal (Mini Quiet Time)

We have come to know [by personal observation and experience], and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides continually in him.

1 John 4:16 AMP

We need to come to know God through personal experience.

Check out our newest Mini Quiet Time to learn more about how to make your relationship with God personal.
