God wants to be close to all of us. All he asks of us is to believe in him and repent.
John 3:16-17 ERV Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life. (17) God sent his Son into the world. He did not send him to judge the world guilty, but to save the world through him.
God seeks a relationship with every one of us. He seeks us no matter how lost we become. The only things that come between us is the things we put there. The walls we put up between us and God can be some hard walls to get over. I found the hardest is when you feel like you don't deserve God's mercy and grace because of your past. We think that because the way we lived or the things we did in our past God doesn't want us. Sometimes its because of the things you do now that you think you can't go to church because you do them now. Maybe its something a self proclaimed Christian has told you that is a sin that you reject god.
Well I'll start by saying you have a father in heaven that wants to be part of your life. The Church is a healing place for sinners not a social club for saints. It doesn't matter who you are, what your doing, or what you've done in the past God wants you and as a christian I want you to come to a house of healing and let god heal your body and soul. Don't let anyone stand between you and the gift God has for you.
Isaiah 55:1 Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
God make it clear he want you to come drink from the living water.

I often read a book to my son called Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can you?. Its all about the many different sounds Mr. Brown can make from a soft whisper to the boom of thunder. It got me thinking about the ways God talks to us. In John 10: 27 it says “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” So we all know his voice so why do we sometimes not know what god wants us to do? We have to learn to listen to him whether his voice is a soft whisper or booming thunder. It’s not always easy to hear God’s voice among the many sounds of everyday life. Sometimes you have to find that quiet place to pray to God and listen for his answer. Other times God’s voice is Like the thunder, it’s so loud that it can be heard of everything else. As you begin to search and listen to god’s voice it becomes much easier to hear it. You can find God’s voice everywhere, today I found it in a children’s book. Tomorrow he may talk to me through a song. What ever why he does I will be listing, Will you?
Faith is defined as
Free will is something that has always been a confusing thing to
me. I face the question if God knows everything you will do before you do it
does that negate free will? The Bible says if proverbs 16:9. “In their hearts
humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” In John 3:16 it says “For God so loved the world that he gave his
one and only Son, that whoever believes in
him shall not perish but have eternal life.” You can see the confusion. Here is one way to
look at it, God is omnipresent so he is everywhere and every when at the same
time. So he exists in the past present and future all at once. Therefor he sees
all and knows all. So we have free will and what god knows does not effect this
free will. We make our own choices in
life. The most important thing about free will is giving it up. In order to grow in our relationship with God
and to fulfill the plan God has for us we must surrender our will to God’s
will. In my life I have discovered that
when I walk my own path it may be easy but it is never rewarding. I may find
temporary happiness but it is just that temporary. When we surrender our free
will to God we walk the road less traveled. It’s not always the easy way,
others will challenge you and try to cause you to question your path. If you stick to the path God has for you find
a reward that is unending and
everlasting Happiness. By surrendering
my free will to God I am able to have a peace in my life no matter what is
going on at the time.
