A couple that says they love each other and even live in the same house, and eat food from the same fridge, but don’t communicate, show no respect for one another, and lack commitment… They are close yet so far.
When you love someone, you want to spend time together because being close to the one you love is not difficult.
However, some things separate loved ones from each other, even if they are still in love.
It might be; betrayal, lying, indifference, or lack of trust.
It’s the same between you and God. How many people pray, go to church, do “everything” right (apparently), but God don’t respond to that persons prayer because something is blocking it. Something is separating you from God and God from you; And the only thing that could be causing this separation is sin. As it is written,
“…your sins have hidden His face from you so that He will not hear..” (Isaiah 59:2)
You who feel far from God even though you are in church every Sunday and you want to solve this problem, separate yourself from what is toxic (like toxic friendships and relationships, lies, harmful entertainment, and every kind of sin that you are still holding onto in your life).
Give God everything you are and want to be and enjoy a life full of blessings.
God loves you and wants to be close to you, not for a period, but forever.
May the God of the Bible bless you,
Bishop Bira Joshua
