Dear Daughter of Almighty God
Draw near
James 4:8 (ESV)
8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Did you know that as you draw near to God He draws near to you? Gods not sitting back letting us do all the moving. As we take steps to be closer to God He starts moving closer to us because He wants to be so close to us that we can hear Him whisper to us. God has a still small voice so we need to be close to listen to all He says.
God wants a relationship with us, a close relationship, and an intimate relationship. The way we get this relationship is by reading the Word of God and talking to God. As you go about your everyday business you can be talking to God all the time asking about the decisions you are about to make, talking about what is on your mind and anything that comes along. God is interested in the small and big parts of our lives don’t keep anything back from Him. Yes He already knows but He wants us to tell Him to confide in Him.
As we draw close to God His Word will help us cleanse our hands and purify our hearts and we will no longer be double-Minded. The closer we get to God the more we will trust Him with all that we are and all that we have done wrong. As we get closer we will go boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy so we can be cleaned and purified. We will be so sure of the Word of God that there will be no room for doubt.
Read your bible daily.
