He does that with his friends.. with believers, but why?
It's because he is close.. and delights to have a relationship with each one. Turn, trust, ask him to come close to you and rule in you as Lord.
He'll come close to you. How come no other God does that?
Because none of them are the Living and Loving God.
You who were once far away from him have been brought near by the blood of Jesus' cross. The Bible teaches this, believer.
“After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.” 1 KINGS 19:12
Now little children, listen to him, fear Him (with respect) and value His words to you. Read and really hear Him. Believe Him and wise apply His word in obedience to the Holy Spirit.
"And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming." 1 John 2:28
A disaster free, a coup free, a crisis free, a fake leader free.. a communism free future awaits us! We just wonder how long it will take to arrive here. We can whisper the Gospel message to people. We pray for those impossible know it alls, those stubborn ones so smug, hardened of heart and puffed up. We can simply tell them what we heard whispered to us, or was flat out told and explained to us.
The gospel is indeed good news.. as long as it gets there on time. You and I are here to wisely apply it, but also to make sure it gets there on time before it's too late.
When we each stand before Christ we will give an account for our lives and not for anyone else's. Therefore don't spend your one and only life obsessing over someone else's life, overly observing weighing critiquing someone else's life, judging someone else's life, psychoanalyzing someone else's motives memories musings or life, comparing your life to someone else's life, coveting someone else's life or gossiping about someone else's life. Live your life. Maintain your integrity and testimony as you walk in intimacy with the Lord. Let your yes be yes and your no be no -- simple as that. Choose to be kinder than you might feel like being.. yeah, more gracious, wisely loving, forgiving and merciful to all. Trust the Jesus of the Bible with your prayers dreams and future.. not mere mortals. He who promised is faithful. God clearly said he'd never leave you nor forsake you, believer -- ain't bailin' out even on your worst day!
