Draw Near to God

by Leslie Ann Jones September 11, 2019

Draw Near to God

When we go for a long time without opening our Bibles or spending time in prayer or going to church, it becomes a thing. The longer we stay out of it, the harder it is to get back into it.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We think we need to somehow make up for the time we've lost or that we have to have the perfect conditions (a quiet house, worship music playing softly in the background, candle flickering gently nearby) to draw near once more. But because we're busy and life is crazy, that perfect moment never comes. We put it off and put it off and put it off. And it never gets done.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We can be so silly sometimes.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You don't have to have a perfect moment to return to the Lord. It's as effortless as letting your eyes drift shut and whispering a prayer. It's as easy as opening your Bible and quietly allowing it sink in to do its work. It's as simple as getting in the car and driving to church on Sunday morning. And then doing it again, and again, and again. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. That's a promise.⁠⠀

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus | Muscadine Press
The Cross Finds You

by Leslie Ann Jones March 04, 2021

Given the option between a life of ease and a life of suffering, I'll take the the easy road every time. Yes please to the good life. Hard pass on the hardship. But Jesus isn't like me. He knew what was to come, and he walked toward it with eyes and arms wide open.

A Joyful Heart is Good Medicine
A Joyful Heart is Good Medicine

by Leslie Ann Jones February 01, 2021

Here lately, every time I hear the familiar chords of an old hymn at church, tears prick my eyes, and it's a real struggle not to ugly cry in the middle of the sanctuary. It's the darnedest thing. Given the sidelong glances she gives me every time it happens, I'm pretty sure that our youngest daughter is seriously worried about me.
