James 4:8 "Come near to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded."
I am so thankful, that when I draw near to God and He draws near to me, that I am not be graded on the total perfection of my sentence structure, inflections of speech, posture, position, how I am dressed or not dressed, I am so thankful, that when I draw near to God and He draws near to me, that I am not be graded by, the color of my skin, the girth of my waist, the size of my shoes, bald head or thick hair, tattoos, fair skin or tanned. I am so thankful, that when I draw near to God and He draws near to me, that I do not have to apologize for: the denomination I belong to, the translation of Holy Scriptures I use. I am so thankful, that when I draw near to God and He draws near to me no consideration is given as to whether I like contemporary Christian music, Southern Gospel music, Traditional Christian music, or Gospel Christian music. I am so thankful that when I draw near to God and He draws near to me that it only has to do with the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary, on my behalf. In his sovereign will He decided to save me from my sin and shame, transform me from sinner to saint, and adopt me into the family of God.
Thank you Lord for saving my soul!
