God wants you to be close to Him. He knows that the best life there is can be found standing next to Him and leaning fully on Him. Sometimes, He needs to take extreme steps to remind you of that! A lot of times it seems easier to wander away from God toward whatever you think will be better – something you might even be replacing God with. Whatever it is, it'll only provide temporary pleasure. Pastor Mark will encourage you in today's message to set aside the things or people you're running after and step closer to God. Let Him do the necessary work to create a better you, the person He knows you can and need to be!
