“Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. [9] Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. [10] Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up." (James 4:8-10)
Sometimes I just feel that it is so difficult to be close to God. Having unconfessed sins in my life really made me feel so distant from God.
The Bible tells us to wash our hands and purify our hearts; that is to stop doing acts that are sinful and to confess our sins.
Just like the heart of the tax collector in Luke 18, God wants us to have a humble heart instead of a self-righteous attitude.
Let us always be reminded that salvation is a gift which we never deserved. May we continue to share the Word of God around so that more people may also come to know God.
Amen.
