 DRAWING CLOSE

Today's reading: James 4-5

"Draw close to God, and God will draw close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, you hypocrites." James 4:8 NLT

Want to know why most of us don't draw close to God? Why we don't lean into Him? Why we don't follow Him as closely as we should/could?

It's because we're afraid of what He might ask of us.

Where He might ask us to go.

How He might ask us to change.

Who He might ask us to forgive.

When He might ask us to trust Him and wait.

Drawing close means changing from being independent to completely dependent upon our Savior.

It takes courage. Faith. Hope. Love. Self-denial.
