So I found this great wikihow on a few changes we can make this week to draw closer in proximity to God. Here are my faves:
1. Don’t speak about religion: One might practice a religion personally, but discussing it surely creates ill-will and distance from God.
2. Be generous: Generosity is one of the great attributes of God we all identify well with. We like generous people. God loves generous people.
3. Maintain hygiene: It helps keep the mind clear of the things that take you away from God. Being clean will remove laziness and procrastination of anything you must do. It is said "an idle mind is the devil's workshop"!
Now, I’m not one to talk religion, hoard or walk around smelling bad...but are these really the best changes we can come up with to draw us closer to God? Yet, if we are honest, have we not tried to clean up, talk right and be generous to have a better relationship with Jesus? Have we not put all our efforts into changing all the wrong things?
My encouragement to you comes from Jesus words in the parable of the sower. Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear. If we have ears to hear, we will be ever seeing and perceiving, ever hearing and understanding; that we might turn and be forgiven. Instead of trying to manipulate a change this week, open your ears to hear the transforming words of Jesus. And from those words of life, we will find the change.
