When it comes to our relationship with Jesus we need to all have our own personal relationship. For example, like a toothbrush. Everyone has to have their own toothbrush to use, you would never think of using someone elses. The same with your relationship with God. It doesn't work to try and use someone else's relationship. Its a must you develop your own.
What grandma has, what the preacher has, what your neighbor has with the Lord is strictly between them and God. No matter how wonderful their relationship works for them it is never good enough for you to use also. Like a toothbrush you can get one that looks similiar or pattern your relationship with God after what you see Grandma's relationship is as long as you have your own.
Same with the worn out Bible that is held together with duct tape. A Bible that belonged to someone else that was passed on down to you perhaps. You need to put your own wear marks on your Bible, reading it and studying it and applying it to your life to the point that you need to add your own duct tape because you are using it so much. The wear and tear put there by someone else does you no good.
Make your own, get your own toothbrush!
They Call Me,
Grandma
