In this blog series, you have been offered over ten ways to come closer to God. Just reading those blogs might sound like alot. Doing them requires even more time and effort. You might be asking yourself, "What's the point?"
Picture yourself following Jesus on a trail through the woods. At first, you are close but then you fall behind. It is nearly impossible to see him, hear him, or even feel his presence. You might begin to feel lost and confused. Following the advice in these blogs could be likened to a sprint to catch up with him and grow close like you were in the moments after you first decided to follow Jesus.
When you are close to God, you will:
- Fear and love God more and be more sensitive to the love He is showering on you
- Feel more at peace and less scared when bad things happen in your life.
- Know how to pray God's will in more circumstances and have more answered prayers
- Feel God's presence more and loneliness less
- Experience more joy and see meaning in life
- Come to greater knowledge of God's path for your life
If you are now motivated to come closer to God, read the full blog series and make up your mind to follow these recommendations. The Holy Spirit will show you the way to go and let Jesus Christ shine through you. Ready?
Lord, thank you for your Word. We agree with the psalmist in Psalm 143: 10 and ask us You to "Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; let Your good Spirit lead me into a level country and into the land of uprightness." In Christ's Name, Amen.
