"Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." James 4:8
The only way that God can get close to you is when you let him in. Okay, technically God can get close to you anyway he wants, be he wants you to ask him. Developing a relationship with God is a two way street. It is not enough just to expect him to start guiding you. You need to ask for it. Remember, he already knows everything. There is nothing you can tell him that he doesn't already know. If you want God to get close to you, you must get close to him.
Easier said than done, right?
This bible study that Isabella and I are doing is to help fix our relationships with God. And to fix our other issues. But we need God for that.
Of course, just reading the Bible and posting a blog about it is not really going to do much for us. We need to be seeking him constantly. Praying is a good way to do that. This blog is just an accountability thing. *priest voice* ...an outward symbol of our devotion...
Sorry. Had a little fun there.
I need to let God in. I need to let him speak to me.
I feel like I'm going on a tangent. Hopefully, some of what I said makes sense.
Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm your friend
You are my desire
No one else will do
No one else can take your place
To feel the warmth of your embrace
Help me find my way
Bring me back to you
You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know you are near
You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know you are near
Help me know you are near
Help me know you are near

Wow, okay, both of us were about to do the same verse for blogging. That's proof of something here, now isn't it? We are both feeling so far away from God. We both need to draw closer to God. I think we both need to set pride aside and just decide that God is worth so much more than that. Then we can work on our other issues by being close to God and knowing that He will help us.
This blogging and Bible reading is actually more helpful than you would think. It has me reading my Bible more than usual and it also puts a huge burden on my heart when I do something that is wrong or treat someone poorly. So, this is actually great.
