Come near to GOD

James tells us quite clearly here that if we draw near to GOD HE will come near to us.

GOD loves you and I.  GOD wants you and I to spend eternity with HIM.

But Jesus warned, the gate is narrow and few will find it.

Friends, GOD is continually reaching out to you and I through HIS Son Jesus.  We have every opportunity to spend time with GOD.  We can make time daily to read HIS Word.

We can attend churches freely in South Africa.  We can fellowship freely.  We can pray as often as we like.

So why don't we?

The answer is simple.  We need to prioritise GOD above all else.  The Ten Commandments deal with the character of GOD absolutely in the first four Commandments.

We are to love the LORD our GOD above all else.

We are to have no other gods but HIM.  This includes our family, friends, jobs, money, possessions.  All of these we can make into our gods.

We are not to make graven images of GOD.  This tells us that GOD is truly GOD.  HE does not want us to try to replicate anyone in Heaven, HIMSELF, Jesus or the Holy Spirit. 

We shall not take the Name of our FATHER in vain.

Therefore our FATHER wants us to love HIM above all else.  And if we do this, HE will draw near to us.

Make time to spend with GOD and learn to understand the Magnificent character of our FATHER in Heaven.  HE is awesome indeed!

Prayer:  ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU are so gracious and just and Holy and merciful. I love YOU FATHER.  Fill me with YOUR Holy Spirit.  I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay amazingly Jesus Blessed today!
