How often have you or someone you know said " I sure wish I was closer to the Lord" I to have said those same words and not thought much about it until this evening. Our pastor made the statement , 'you are as close to God as you really want to be. Hmm I thought? What a profound statement!!! I had never looked at it that way before. I realized what a crutch it has been in my life. Thankfully the Lord is so good and patient and loving. I am in the process of taking back the ground I have lost because of lack of obedience and discipline in my own life and hope to never say again " I sure wish I was closer to the Lord" I aplogize for any grammatical errors. Honestly that is not my fortay and am still learning there too.
