We can\u2019t experience it once and be good for life, it is a daily thing, a daily connection. We can\u2019t experience closeness with God and then expect that to carry us through the rest of our lives without putting the effort in to keep up the relationship. The good thing is that if we have never experienced it or we have experienced in the past but have drifted away, we still can, all we need to do is pursue relations with God. Creating habits such as daily Bible reading, journaling, prayer time, etc. is just some of the ways that we can stay attached to the main Vine and give us the ability to bear the fruit of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI never say a fruit-bearing Christian who was not a student of the Bible.\u201d &nbsp;-Dwight L.
