Can you find anything that compares to all Jesus is? Jesus doesn’t fade away, He only wants to be closer to us.
Matthew 13: 22, I don’t ever want the things of this world to choke out the life of God in me…..
Matthew 6: 19-20, Things of earth are destroyed by moths and rust in time. But time with Jesus, if you seek Him in His fullness, He offers nothing but love. He opens your eyes to see He is all you ever needed. You can’t take your earthly possessions with you when you die. But you can count on Jesus being right there with you when you take your last breath.
What do you choose to be closest to here on earth? What are we, His children, showing Him our first love is? Whatever you choose, if it is not Him first, you will not feel His fullness, His power in any of your weakness. God is as close to you, as you choose to be to Him. His promise is He will never leave us. We leave Him, and then we feel the effects of His absence by our own choice. Psalm 46… He is the Fortress for the weak, the strength that carries us.
Jeremiah 2: 2, “I remember the kindness and devotion of your youth”…. Do you remember when you were head over heels in love with Jesus? I mean on fire. We all need to ask ourselves, are we who we use to be to Jesus, or do we complain and take the many blessings for granted?
Jesus has a simple need we can meet, and that is to love Him with all our heart, soul, and mind. If God is not what He used to be to us, it should fill us with shame and sorrow. But the greatest thing that comes from that is, 2 Corinthians 7: 10, “godly sorrow leads to repentance.”
“God I want to be “close” to You. There is nothing in this world that compares to all You are. In the arms of the Father, there is love like no other.”
