Your relationship with Jesus… Guest Post By GEORGE CALLEJA

Many people claim to have a relationship with Jesus. But what does having a relationship with Jesus mean? Does your relationship with Jesus result in peace with your neighbour? Do you help the needy and poor and do you try to become one with them?

A relationship with Jesus does not only consist in spending time in prayer, participating in mass, listening to the Word of God or attending to a prayer group, amongst others. A relationship with Jesus also requires you to be in unity with the Holy Trinity, to be Jesus to others, and to do His will in your daily life.

So, a relationship with Jesus transforms you to be a peacemaker, to share the Good News, to be a witness of His love, to be joyful even when being persecuted, to truly live up to the Beatitudes and be called ‘blessed’ by God.

Like any kind of human relationship, a relationship with Jesus takes time to develop and mature. When this relationship with Jesus grows it reaps the desired fruits in one’s life. You will be happy even if experiencing difficult times in life; you will be joyful even though you might be poor. Jesus is always there to be with us even when we fall and abandon Him. He will give us the grace to return to Him and carry on with our journey to salvation through our relationship with Him.

A personal relationship with Jesus is there for all to have.

Thank you, George, for sharing this very meaningful lesson with us!

I am George Calleja from Malta; I am married and have two children. In 2009 I obtained my MBA through the University of Leicester.

During the years 1990 to 1996 I was a full time missionary with ‘The International Catholic Programme for Evangelization – ICPE’ and have evangelized in various countries, such as Russia, Ghana, Poland, Germany, and Malta amongst others. Since 1997, I am an active member of the Focolare Movement in Malta.

In November 2014 I published my first Christian Book ‘Peace and Unity in our lives – Volume One’, and have already published another 15 Books. While I hope that you find spiritual growth through reading my articles, I promise to keep you always in my prayers.
