Bible Question:
Hi, with this part of the paragraph area. The Lord says that when we seek God with all of our hearts and souls we will find him. Because I'm struggling with the need of finding him, and I've given my life to Jesus but I just don't feel connected. Could somone give me as much information in a practical 21st century way that which I could understand? Thank You, because I want to feel and get as close to God as possible and I'm not sure always how to do that. You'de think I would of already been showin the way since I gave my life to Jesus but it doesn't seem so. Guidence and direction need here. Thank you.. |
Bible Answer: NightJay0044, A few words of encouragement for you brother. You found God when you were saved. Jeff's answer to your question was right on the money. I don't know if any of us can or do everything we can. We blow it every day. But if we have the heart of going after him with everything we have we will be close to God. Let me encourage you with a few sciptures here, I think they will help.Acts 17:26-29 God is never far from any of us. Colossians 1:27- You cant get any closer than this. Jerimiah 29:11-14a God is there,we gotta have the heart and faith to reach out to Him.God doesnt go away. We do at times when we turn our backs on Him. But the great thing is we can repent-1 John 1:9. 2 Timothy 2:15,Luke 18:1- Get quality time in Gods Word every day and pray,pray,pray. Our emotions and feelings are no gaurantee for truth, we can get fooled by them,But if we keep our focus on God and His Word the odds of that happening go way down. Stay strong brother and know that God is good to all his promises. Read Psalm 119 you will gain much assurance and encouragement. In Christ, lionheart |
