Hebrews 4:14-16, 5:1-9
Could make him love you more
And nothing you've done
could make him close the door
Because of his great love
He gave his only Son
Everything was done
So you would come
The lyrics of this song have ministered to me at many points of my life:
Nothing you can doCould make him love you more
And nothing you've done
could make him close the door
Because of his great love
He gave his only Son
Everything was done
So you would come
I've came to a point of time in my life where I failed and failed and finally found myself in a place where I dare not draw near to God neither to pray, because I felt that I am just not worthy of the Lord. But yet, it was times like these that the Lord drew me close to him and say "a broken spirit and a contrite heart, I will not despise" and it was times like these, that I experience his grace - I do not deserve it, but yet he still loves.
When Jesus was on Earth, he chose the broken and the despised. The 12 disciples were not perfect, in fact, they were full of flaws. Even during their time with Jesus, and experiencing his miracles, they were fighting and competing amongst each other. He chose to sit with the tax collectors and prostitutes rather than the priests. He chose you. All of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, but what it takes today is for you to hold this verse close to your heart, assured that the throne of grace is open to you...

"Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence,
so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need"
Hebrews 4:18
so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need"
Hebrews 4:18
When Jesus picked his 12 disciples, he had only 1 criteria - the people who were willing to follow Jesus and obey me. It does not matter if you have a 100 people tribe, nor wonderful results, nor a developed gifting, all God ask of us when we come before the throne of grace is a repentent and willing heart to hear and obey his word.
Sisters, think about the time when you thought of "quitting God" because you are just not worthy. Then, remember, God is in the business of healing broken hearts and lives, he is here for the sick, not the healthy. (Luke 5:31). Today, will you not stop short at heaven's gates? Will you take that bold step towards the throne because God misses you and he yearns for his princesses to come near to him. All it takes is a confidence in his word and a heart that is willing to obey. Right now, do you hear the King of kings knocking on the door of your hearts?

"When you take 1 step towards God,
God will take 99 steps towards you"
Will you take that 1 step?
God will take 99 steps towards you"
Will you take that 1 step?
