Firstly I recommend that you read John 3: 16 ‘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.’
Being a Christian isn’t as simple and straight
forward as many of us think. The reality
of Christianity isn’t just reading you Bible, praying and meditation. Developing a rapport with the Lord God isn’t something
that happens overnight. No, it is in
absolute and definite time spent in the Word of God. Meditation on scripture and praying, waiting
for answered prayer.
My need to draw near to God is simple, I don’t
always understand life and when I feel uncertain God is the only certainty in
my life. I just know that God will help
me out of a situation.
I remind myself of a time when I didn’t have
2c to rub together, literally. The next
day I had to get to work and back home.
My petrol at the time was standing on empty – in the red. I got up out of bed read my Bible and stepped
into my car. I prayed aloud and said ‘please
Lord Jesus, I need to get to work and back home tonight. I can’t bear asking for a loan from any of my
friends again, now I am really in need help me today. Amen’. I drove off to work and came home believing
the Lord will answer my prayers. When I
reversed into my drive way my little Citi Golf went ‘poof’ and stopped
driving. It was dry not a drop of petrol
in the tank. I thanked the Lord and got
out of my car and walked into my house.
My prayers were answered, that is one of the
reasons I draw near to God, He has never failed me and I know He never will.
