Have you ever felt like you’re so far away from God? Like sometimes, if you are being honest, you’re just not as connected to Him as you’d like to be. But how is that possible? We are told that God is always close. The Holy Spirit lives in us so how can we possibly feel far away from God? So who or what is the cause of this feeling of far-ness? God never pulls away from us. Physically, he is always right there. But when we try to live independently, away from Him, when we try to do things our own way, or simply refuse to seek Him in all things, we can feel a disconnect. It’s like He’s in the clouds somewhere, it feels like we have to make a ridiculously long and tedious journey back to Him. I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just feel like staying put. It’s easier to just be without God for a while. The journey back is too daunting. But what a giant LIE that is. I want to never lose sight of Jesus’s countenance. I wish I could stand firm in my faith at all times, never wavering, never feeling dry, always being filled with God. But that is impossible. There are times I’m going to feel far away. But during the dry times, it is so important to remember that I don’t have to run a marathon just to be close to Him again. I just need to acknowledge that He is here. Right here. In me. ❤️
