If we do not feel that intense desire of delighting ourselves in God’s presence in the intimacy of our private “closet” in communion with his Holy Word; Then either one of two things could be a reality in your life,
1- You’re filling your heart with the things of this world, which slowly but surely will kill your hunger for God, while filling your life with frustration & misery.
Or
2- Maybe you came to Jesus in a church where they expected you to live a holy life based on your own good efforts, but you have tried to walk in God's ways leaning upon your own goodness, upon your own efforts to live a sinless life & because you failed, you just got tired & decided that none of that matters to you & that you are just going to live your life your way & do the best you can & get the best of it & deal with God at the end of your journey in case you have to.
Basically, you have not yet realized what Jesus accomplished in the Cross in our favor & how much God loves you!
If you are a Christian & have already confessed Jesus as Lord & King of your life then you are already part of God's Family.
If you haven't yet confessed Jesus as your Lord, well then do it now. It's good to know that our physical mind doesn’t have the capacity to draw near to God, and it dislikes anything that has to do with Jesus. So don't worry if you think none of this makes sense, as God's love is so strong that it overcomes all obstacles in order to get to our hearts.
The Bible says that if we don't walk on Jesus who is The Way, on his commandments and his words; instead of going to the Father, we are walking directly towards our own destruction.
The good news is that God loves you so that Jesus already paid the price for us in the Cross to set us free from sin, & fill you with everything you need to live a victorious life now in this world. He offers you a simple solution; present yourself before the Father in the name of Jesus and ask Him to give you his strength so that you can walk on HIS WAY, HIS TRUTH AND HIS LIFE, then you will see that God will surely help you to do what is impossible for us as natural men to do, and that is: to follow Him in love; then you can verify that submitting to God, will fill you with joy, satisfaction and eternal life, and his Love in you will help you do God’s Will & not only be blessed yourself, but also bless many of those around you… This is what really makes life worth living.
We fall in love with Him, because He first loved us, & love begets love... Hallelujah!
Here I share a few Bible verses that confirm what I just wrote here...
Jn 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me.
Rom 10:9-10 Because if you confess the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation.
2Pe 1:2-4 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and virtue, 4 through which He has given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, so that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Heb 10:14-17 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified. 15 The Holy Spirit also is a witness to us; for after He had said before, 16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put My Laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them," 17 also He adds, "their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more."
1Jn 5:4-5 For everything that has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
1Co 2:14 Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Col 1:12-14 giving thanks to the Father, who has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 For He has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son; 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins.
1Jn 4:9-10 In this the love of God was revealed in us, because God sent His only begotten Son into the world that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation concerning our sins.
Jn 17:25-26 O righteous Father, indeed the world has not known You; but I have known You, and these have known that You have sent me. 26 And I made known to them Your name, and will make it known, so that the love with which You have loved Me may be in them, and I in them.
I would appreciate any comments from you regarding these lines, or any questions as well.
Love in Jesus… Alejandro … Blessings!!!
If this reading has been a blessing to you, please don’t hesitate to share it with the world. We need to be a blessing to others today, tomorrow may be too late. John 9:4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me, while it is day. Night comes when no man can work.
