Draw near to God, He will draw near to you.

michael Draw Near to God

James 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

God desires us to draw near to Him, if we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us.  How close we are to the LORD depends on us, if we draw close to Him, He will draw close to us. It is always a good idea to draw near to Him daily. First thing every morning and also in the evening.

The bible says that in His presence, there is fullness of joy. If we keep on drawing near to Him, we could experience His joy, peace and love.

Trust in the LORD

Prov. 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

We should always trust in the LORD, big things and small things. We should seek LORD’s leading. If we constantly seek His will, seek His leading, He will lead us.

My great aunt (my mother’s aunt) is a christian,  she is 106 years old now, she is still energetic, she always trusts in the LORD,  she almost died 3 times, but the LORD saved her.

Love and faithfulness

Proverbs 3:3-4

3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

If we walk in love, it is pleasing in God’s side, also in man’s side. God is love, he also wants us to live in love. Bible says that if we abide in love, we abide in God, because God is love. (1 John 4:16).

Born again

John 3:3,5 3  Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
What does born again mean ? Born again means receiving the Holy Spirit. When a person believes in the Lord and is baptized, he receives the Holy Spirit, he is born again, he is born of water and the Holy Spirit. When a person confesses his sins and repents and is baptized, God forgives his sins and gives him the Holy Spirit to live in his heart. This person is born again and saved, he receives new life, and becomes a new person. Jesus said that unless a person is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God and cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
