Stay Close To God :)

“For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; ¹³ In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God”-Isaiah 59:12-13

Sin creates a distance between us and God; that’s why it is so dangerous.  Can God hear the pleas of a sinner? Jesus came for the sinners! But when we allow a distance to grow between us and God, we lose the “benefits” of being close to our Lord.

Being close to God brings daily peace and happiness, daily faith and hope, the deep knowledge that God is with us every second and He loves us! The complete faith that we are going to Heaven and the knowledge that not only will we be overjoyed to see Him, God will be overjoyed to see us too!

God is also the one we can bring All of our worries and fears too! Whenever I am afraid or worried, I pray this prayer:

“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”-Psalm 56:3-4

But it is impossible to Trust someone that we never spend time with!  Or that we are not close too! Do NOT let anything separate you from God!!!

There are many reasons to “abhor sin”, as they say.  But perhaps one of the most important ones is that it separates us from God! 

Thankfully we can seek His forgiveness and repent through His Son Jesus Christ and start new ?
