Approaching God

Come close to God, and God will come close to you.

JAMES 4:8

Our natural human tendency is to cover our sin or hide from God when we have done something wrong. A clear example of this in Scripture is the story of Adam and Eve. After they disobeyed God by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they covered their nakedness and hid from God. But God promises you can always enter his presence with confidence. There is no need to run away from the God who longs to be close to you. Step out of hiding and experience the peace, love, and joy that can come only when you are in close relationship with him.
