Get Closer

 

The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations.  Psalm 33:11

Getting closer to another person is essential for any relationship, friendship, or marriage to grow and flourish.  The same holds true for our loving Father who has a desire to grow closer to each of us in an intimate relationship.

The course of our lifetime is spent growing closer to Him, following His will as God meets our needs.  All of this is part of His plan to fashion each one of us into the beings that will spend eternity with Him at the end of our lives on this earth.

God sometimes postpones or delays meeting some of our needs in order to bring us to a place of dependence on Him, so that we realize that we need Him, which, in the end, draws us closer to Him.

Walk every day in fellowship with the Lord and draw closer to Him as He will do the same and draw closer to you.

The Dead Heart


These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.  They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men. -Jesus Matthew 15:8-9


It’s almost too easy to attend worship service for a short time on Sunday and then forget what you have learned the second you pull out of the church parking lot.  Sometimes, things that begin with good intentions can become mindless routines and the same holds true with our spiritual growth and development if we are not deliberate with our walk of faith.

We regularly attend worship and serve at our church when we can, but there have been weeks and even months that have passed by that I failed to grow closer in my relationship with God.  A pure heart results in wanting only what God wants, which are things that produce eternal benefit.  Simply stated, God wants us to follow Jesus, grow spiritually, be transformed, and blessed in all ways.

Those with a pure heart desire what God desires more than what they personally want.  Seek Him daily, grow closer to Him, and fall deeper in love with Him!!
