thee.” Some Christians expect Jesus to speak to them like that! They run to prophetic conferences to try and find Jesus speaking like that.
    God is leading us all the time, every day. Most times, He doesn’t speak to us in big spectacular ways. He just says to us, “Son, I love you. Come, walk by the beach with Me. Come, walk down here with Me. Just stay a bit longer down here and just talk to Me.” That’s how He speaks to you. That’s how He loves you.
    ‘If Anyone Thirsts, Let Him Come To Me And Drink’
    God wants a close relationship with you more than you know. That’s why He says in John 7:37, “ If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.” He wants to fulfil His promise to meet our deep need for intimacy. He tells us to just drink and drink and drink His presence. And what’s the result? The next line says, “ He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:38)
    You know, the rivers of living water are for the benefit of the people around you. The rivers are for them to drink from as well. When I come to Jesus and I satisfy my thirst, all of a sudden, rivers start flowing out of me. I become a blessing to others around me. If I didn’t drink from Him, I would have no overflow for others to drink from.
    In John 4, we find that the disciples went away to the city to buy Jesus lunch. A Samaritan woman came to draw water and she met Jesus sitting at Jacob’s well. John 4:6 tells us, “ Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well.” They began talking and after He spoke revelations to the Samaritan woman and revealed Himself to her as the Messiah, Jesus was refreshed. He was so refreshed that when His disciples returned, they thought someone had given Him food for He said to them, “ I have food to eat of which you do not know.” (John 4:32) God delights in us drawing from Him. It refreshes Him. It’s food for Him!
    He knows what makes a great marriage because He came up with the concept of marriage.
    He loves being around you. Matthew 18:20 tells us, “ For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” Husband and wife, when you wake up each morning, acknowledge Jesus’ presence. He’s in your midst. He doesn’t wait for you to come to church to say, “Hello, Jesus!” He is with you when you wake up in the morning. Aren’t you glad of this promise? The Lord is so gracious to us. Although He is high and mighty, He doesn’t ask for a big group. He breaks it down to the lowest plurality — two or three!
    Jesus Knows What Makes A Great Marriage
    Whether you’re married or you’re dating, Jesus is there in your midst. For the good of your marriage and for the good of your relationship, acknowledge Him and talk to Him. And expect Him to speak to you because He will. He’ll tell you things like, “Just go and kiss your wife right now!” You may say, “That’s not Jesus. Jesus is not that romantic!” But He is! He is the creator of romance! He knows what makes a great marriage because He came up with the concept of marriage. And He promises that He will be in the midst of us. His place is always in the centre.
    Today, Jesus is unlimited. After He rose again, He became both physical and spiritual. This means that He can appear and disappear. In John 20:19, when He appeared to His disciples, where did He appear? Jesus came and stood in the midst of them. And He said to them, “ Peace be with you.”
    Verse 20 goes on to say:
20 When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord .
    You see, peace can only come when you know the finished work of Christ. When the disciples saw Jesus, His hands and His side, they were glad. Like the disciples, we too, gain gladness and peace when we see the Lord and His finished work. My friend, do you see Jesus and His finished work in
