I used to view God as distant and remote. Even though I had believed that Jesus came as a fully human and fully divine, to save us from sin, I had a hard time thinking that He was that concerned about my prayers. But I’m leading that Hs is. Very personal God, calling me His child. I was recently challenged to write out a document, imagining what God might say to me, based on the Scriptures I had read. That is definitely challenging, wondering if I’m worthy. But my friend said not to worry about that. Jesus is the worthy One and He is faithful. If He loves me, and He is faithful, He wants to be a huge part of my life story. All the self accusations are petty compared to Hos character. Even the powers of darkness and evil are petty and trivial in the end. As depicted by Ezra’s story, effort precedes completion. Even though God is faithful and present, we cannot be passive or complacent.
