How close are you to God? Are faithful to Him? I know that I struggle in this area. For some reason, it just depends on what mood I am to serve my Lord. Can you believe that? He took my sins away. He has built a mansion for me in Heaven. He has given all just for me. What do I give Him? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Nothing in comparison to that great gift that He has given me. I do try to get close to God but only in times of trouble. When things are going good, I definitely slack on my commitment to Christ. When I want something, though, I try to get as close to God as humanly possible. Isn't that horrible? In the valleys of darkness, I want God to be near me. I want what he has to offer, and He usually gives it to me. He has always been there for me in times of trouble. Although I have been discouraged, He has always been there for me. When He needs me, am I there for Him? Hardly. When I am high on the mountain top and things are going good in life and He needs me, I try to shrug him off. I get lazy and slack on my obligation to Christ. Isn't this awful? The human flesh is definitely alive in me. I need to keep my focus on Christ no matter where I am in my daily walk. If I am either in the dark valley or high on the bright mountain top, I need to be near and close to my Savior. I need to always be faithful to Him. I just pray that I can keep my commitment. I pray that the Lord will give me the strength and direction to stay focused on Him always.
