Just a thought.

Hey! It's been awhile. So I thought, why not share this quick revelation Abba showed me while I was talking to a friend the other day? :)



Me: I have been close to depression for the last week. It's only been within the last two days I was able to stand up and start singing again... let me find the verse that brought me from my sunken state.

The beginning of James 4:8 says this: Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

Now that right there is a promise... as soon as I read that I thought, how many times do I come crying out in utter desperation and remain unanswered? You know what... how many times does He cry out for us in utter desperation and we turn the cold shoulder? I got up and actually spent time in the Word. granted, not much, only about 10 minutes, but I followed with a praise filled heart almost all day. Not asking for anything!

I was choosing to love on Him without requiring some bribary to do it.. and if I'm honest with myself, why else do I often go into all out prayer? Is it because I love Him and want HIM or want what He can give?

Yet it says clearly... if we draw near, just because we choose (regardless of feelings) to seek Him out... then He's gonna rush to us and draw us so near!

Friend: So why was almost everything in me, right there as you said that, like "no that can't be right"?

Me: huh?

Friend: you said all that, and I know it's true. but in my mind I was like..Idk, like I didn't want to believe it

Me: Because flesh and everything else logical in this world says... "That's too simple. It shouldn't be that simple." Then we walk away with that as our excuse.

Mind you.. it's not easy, but it is pretty simple. We can't wrap our minds around it being that clean cut... truthfully... we shouldn't try lol, just gotta accept it sometimes.
