drawing close

God says in his word that if we draw close to him He will draw close to us.He knows our heart before we even start I say heart because our mouths and minds often tell a different story and our thoughts change from minute to minute or mine do at least.One thing we all have iin common is that we are sinners lets leave aside positive thinking for a moment.The positive thought is that God loves us unconditionally and that no matter what we have done said or thought he loves us just the same .This does not mean that he will always love what we do think or say.It says in His word that my God is slow to anger and quick to forgive now lets get to the bridge where we realise how much we need him especially when we realise how much our humaness gets in the way ie our needs versus our wants who is gonna save us from ourselves ? to be continued

Comments feedback please

I agree Paul. God is MUCH CLOSER than most people realize.....

I think that I feel him, but sometimes I just can't tell where He is? How can I tell?

look around at your world. see a sunset, watch children play, read an article on DNA, chemistry, physics, astronomy, biology...God is all around us. those two little ridges under your nose are put there to protect a place where bones come together-who would've thought of that? a cheetah's paws are designed like track shoes so they can grip the ground for speed. the color of our skin protects us from UV radiation. plants are able to convert sunlight into food. the air we breathe, the ground we walk on, it all has a purpose and design that shouts to us that God is good and He wants us to have the best. He is everywhere-you don't need a burning bush to see a sign of Him
