In this journal entry, Biiftuu gets personal about the importance of building a relationship with the Lord that is truly our own. Worship leaders, preachers, ministries, and anointings can all be gifts from God, but they were never meant to carry our relationship with Him for us—they should be additions, not substitutes.

Have we reduced Christianity to gathering at public worship nights, singing at the top of our lungs, and then returning home to silence? What kind of relationship in this life could exist like that—affection in public, but silence in private?

Drawing from Exodus 33, Biiftuu reflects on Moses entering the tent of meeting while the Israelites pitched their tents around his, watching from a distance as the pillar of cloud descended. How often do we do the same? We pitch our tents around someone else’s intimacy with God and settle for experiencing what flows from their relationship with Him.

But what if we stopped pitching our tents around someone else’s encounter and built our own? What if every Israelite went away, pitched their own tent, and met with the Lord—and the pillar came down over every tent?

If we stripped away all the additives, what would remain? Is there a personal relationship with Jesus that has substance of its own?
