James 4:7 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
Have you ever met someone you like and seem to hit it off quickly? I know I have, and it seems that you can tell this person almost anything. You find that there is a connection, and you share many of the same interest. But I have realized that I am the type of person that will not reveal too much of myself too soon with other people. For me it takes time. I am cautious.
I also know that having an intimate relationship with the Lord has taken me time. I have applied the same tactics with meeting people as I do with God. I am cautious, but yet I desire more of Him, and have held back on revealing certain areas of my life that I do not want God to touch on, and yet He knows everything about me!
As the phrase goes, when God ask you a question, He already knows the answer, He just wants you to find something out about yourself.
God desires a deep, intimate relationship with all of us. His voice is lovely, kind, full of love grace and mercy. There really is nothing to be afraid of. So why do people like myself and other hold back? Fear. Fear that whatever God may touch on will cause pain. There is one thing that I am certain of; Just as we desire more of God, He desires more of us, and there is no pain involved.
His perfect love for us will cast out all fear. For me it’s time to draw closer to God. I need to take that first step, and then He will draw closer to me, that’s a promise.
May you be richly blessed this day.
I always like reading your posts. I often don’t have time to comment but know I do read them.

Hello sis it’s nice to see you writing again I know you had to of been busy. This weekend I sat myself aside to draw near to God by staying in His dwelling place and it felt so good to just sit there and say nothing at all. Just being there felt so good all my cares and emotions was gone. It’s something about being in His presence where the rest of the world can not enter. I thank God we all can have this blessing and freedom to come to Him
James 4: 7 is an awesome promise. Just being still and listening for His voice is exciting! To think the same God who made and controls the universe takes time to know me, and gives me the privilege of calling Him “friend,” simply amazes me. I have wasted so much time running from Him Isn’t it funny how we run away from what we need most?. Yes, His perfect love casts away all fear. Sounds too good to be true. But it is true!!!! Praise God!!!! Blessings, Yvette
