Psalms 1:1-3. Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Search the Bible at BibleGateway.

What’s Next? So you’ve asked for God’s forgiveness of your evilness, acknowledged that Jesus’ punishment was for you, and decided live a life in the favor of God. Well then, here’s how it works: Having a relationship with God is a lot like relationships between people. If you think about it, would God really expect us to live in a way that we couldn’t relate to? If that’s the case, then what makes for a good relationship between people?
You get the idea. The list could become quite long. Actually, Jesus speaking in the Bible sums it up really quite well; “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.”.( Luke 10:37) There it is… there’s not much else to say. To perfect this love for God, think about first loving yourself. Imagine for a moment that ‘perfect’ friend. The way you would love to be treated (go back to the list above). You can become that ‘perfect’ friend to yourself, someone else (wife and kids, mom, dad…), and ultimately you become a ‘friend of God’. A well known public speaker often says “You are the same today as you’re going to be in five years except for two things, the people you meet and the books you read.” (Charlie ‘Tremendous’ Jones). If you think that statement has merit, then why not take a close look at where you get your information from and who you hang out with. Here’s a plan to get you started in the right direction:
