Often, when people think about God, they’re thinking about all the things they need to do to reach Him. Or, overwhelmed by the burden of their own failings, they give in to the hopelessness of their state. The truth is, God always takes the initiative. He is the one who made the way. He is the one who came near first. He is the one who paid the price. It was Him who died for us. So that we can be where we always wanted to be. In His Presence. Not just near but close. Close enough to see, that you are the apple of His eye. in the Old Testament this is not possible. But In Christ… not Facebook nor Face Time, but face to face with Grace.
