draw me close to you

"draw near to God and he will draw near to you. cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded." [james 4:8]

the past three days have been a really good time of reflection and meditation for me. i have realized many things and have pressed in to God because i absolutely cannot do it on my own anymore. i am hurting and i am broken, but i am still standing on my rock.

i am so comforted to know that God is just sitting and waiting for me to come to him with all of my problems and my issues. he knows what is going on in my life and he is ready and willing to take care of it all and wrap me in his arms of peace. i just have to admit my wrongs and allow God to take over in all areas of my life.

the more i give over to God, the closer he comes to my heart. why would i ever try and live life by my own strength if this is the case? these three days have been a start, but it's time for it to become something that happens every day, all the time. all that i have and all that i am is because of what God has given to me. time to spend every moment i have on this earth glorifying him and thanking him for the riches i have in Christ.
