Don’t watch God through the hand-me-downs of others. He wants to be in a relationship with you. Whether you have been saved for a long time or a little while; you can be close to Him. It is not about a feeling, but a truth that you can live in. God loves you! That is the truth. The closeness you have with The Father depends on you. Our Lord pursues us in love and the boundaries of our free will. He will not go farther than you let Him. Check your religion. There is nothing wrong with going to church multiple times a week. I love church! However, sometimes there are gaps in our relationship with God that religious practices will always fall short of fulfilling. These gaps grow larger as we ignore the distance we know is there. Then, we find ourselves saying, “Lord, how did I get here?” When we practice a lifestyle of Christianity that is not centered around God, we miss the point of why He saved us in the first place. As we focus on people who stop coming to our churches; our own hearts suffer a distance we cannot survive. Often times, the “prodigal son” that needs the most prayer is in the mirror. Will you take a look?
