Theme: The first step toward intimacy with God
Scripture: James 4:8
I will be honest with you. There was a time when I talked about God more than I actually talked to Him. I knew the right things to say. I showed up in the right places. But deep down, if I am being real I was keeping Him at a comfortable distance.
Not because I did not love Him. But because intimacy requires honesty. And I was not ready to be fully seen.
Getting close to God is not about having the perfect quiet time or saying the right prayers. It is about deciding — even in your mess, even in your doubt, even in the middle of your most complicated season to take one step toward Him.
Just one step. That is all He asks.
And what I have learned is that He does not wait for you to get yourself together before He meets you. He meets you right there. In the reaching. In the wanting. In the simple decision to draw near.
If you have been keeping God at a distance lately whether out of guilt, busyness, or just life pulling you in every direction this is your gentle reminder. He is not far. He never was.
Take the step. He will do the rest.
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” — James 4:8
What does drawing near to God look like for you in this season? I would love to hear from you in the comments. 🤍
