"Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded." -James 4:8 (NASB)
After a spending time together during vacation, it can be difficult for my daughter to go back to school. She likes spending time with family. She doesn't like being eight hours away from her grandparents and aunt and uncle. While it might be nice to always be near to loved ones, circumstances sometimes separate us. Fortunately, we don't have to worry about being separated from God!
Our relationship with God is different. God is good and it is natural for us to want to be near to Him. The good news is that we can always be near to Him. We don't have to go to school or work away from God. The only thing that separates us from God is our sinful nature, but through Jesus, we can repent, be redeemed, and be brought near to God. All we have to do is ask for forgiveness so we can draw near to God and He will draw near to each of us!
Draw near to God by repenting and allowing God to be near to you!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for wanting to draw near to me. Please forgive my sins so that I can always be near to You. Through Jesus, the Redeemer, I pray, amen.
