Come closer

IMG_20180911_131615

I wasn’t feeling very well. I tried to yell into the next room to ask for help. But my help didn’t come. I yelled again and again. No one came. Everytime I yelled, I felt weaker and weaker. So I decided to get up and move closer to my help so she could hear me. All I had to do for her to hear me was go to the door. I didn’t even have to go all the way. It took less strength to get up and get closer to my help than it took for me to keep yelling for her to come. I thought to to myself, perhaps this is a message for the people of God. God may be telling us that we’re wasting our time and energy yelling for Him to come to us. We’re misusing our strength. God may be telling us that we need to use our strength to get closer to Him. And after we get closer to Him, He’ll get closer to us. Draw nigh unto Him and He will draw nigh unto you. God is reminding us that He desires relationship with us; not arrangements to take care of our business.
