The Bridge - Great Love Story

Do you know what God wants you to do more than anything else today? He wants you to fellowship with Him! He wants you to walk and talk with Him. He wants you to be concern about others, to discuss the things of this life that matters to you most, and to learn what His plan is for your life.

He wants you to draw close to Him and partake of His very nature. He loves you like no other; and would still love you if you were the only person in the world. Just as the Father loves his son in this story (John 3:16) of the close relationship between a bridge operator and his young son and the fateful day when both try to head off an impending rail disaster.

A steam train full of hundreds of passengers are unaware of the danger as they head towards an open drawbridge. When a desperate young woman witnesses an act of virtue beyond imagination, her life is forever changed.


This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was.

He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.

So, many of us get caught up striving to please God in the things we do that we forget our first and highest calling is just to be in fellowship with Him, the creator of us all. That’s right, God longs for us just to want to be with Him. Some, however, did receive him and believed in him; so he gave them the right to become children of God.

Have you ever considered how much it would mean for you to just come to God and say “Father, I didn’t really come today to get anything? I’ve prayed about my needs already and your word says they’re met according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

“So, I just came to be with you. If you have anything you would like to tell me, I’m ready to listen… and I want you to know that whatever I see in your word, I’ll do it. I’ll put it into effect in my life.” Why don’t you tell that to God today? He’s waiting to have fellowship with you.
