Living Deeply Rootedნიმუში

Do you recall the first time you felt God’s presence? The excitement that you felt knowing God was near you, closer than ever before? Over time, you began to feel the shift that seemed to place other things above making God your priority. That nearness you once felt no longer seemed attainable. Your thoughts begin to trick you into believing that nothing you do can get you back to where you used to be. May you be reminded of this truth—you are never too far to be in God’s presence. The Bible says, “The LORD is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you” (II Chronicles 15:2 NIV). No matter how far you feel from Him, know that you are always welcome to draw near. God is always there when you seek after Him.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” JEREMIAH 29:11 NIV

God, thank You for never holding it against me when I drift far from You. You love me unconditionally. You welcome me with open arms and show grace where I fail. May I continue to draw close to You, always and forever, no matter what I’m going through.
