How Well Do You Know God?

Yes, I was back at this place again the other day to talk to one more employee about AFLAC. He sounded interested and we shook hands and pushed the chairs in. As I was turning to leave he asked if he could ask me a question, I said sure. He asked me if I knew the Lord? I said yes with a little shock in my answer. I said I went to Harding and attend College Church. He said that was good, and he was just checking.
I felt weird after that conversation, I had thought about it all day long. Here I was trying to help a guy who had no health insurance and works a full time job and preaches on the weekend to give him some kind of relief. And he was more worried about my soul and salvation. Kind of a mixed up scenario. I'm selling him insurance for earthly reasons and he's selling me a pitch about my salvation. I told him I liked his passion and thanked him for his concern and he said your welcome.
My question is Do we really know the Lord? Do we come right out to a complete stranger and flat out ask them Do you know the Lord? Where is our passion for asking that question every day to somebody? I really need to re-ponder this way of thinking. To think about where I am with the Lord in my life. Am I really doing what I am really here for ? To save as many as possible! Where are you in your walk with the Lord? I'm not talking about going to church and singing songs and listening to the sermon, that's good to do that. But what about our personal relationship with God and the work we are supposed to be doing for Him? I thought about it and graded myself . You know my grade was an "F". I'm not doing enough to serve God and others. I'm just strumming around in life trying to figure out my next move to support my family, but not enough to make my next move toward Heaven. Let's all answer the questions. How well do we really know the Lord? And what are we doing to do his will on earth? May God Bless Us All!
