Wow, so personal! The Lord requires we "walk humbly" WITH Him! He is not beyond reach, He made a way through the Loving sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, shedding His blood to bridge the gap..."But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;" Ephesians 2:13-19
You see that, through JESUS, we are "NO MORE STRANGERS, and foreigners, but FELLOWCITIZENS with the saints and of the HOUSEHOLD of God"!!! Wow! Not only can we have a real relationship with Him, but we have a high priest who can relate to EVERYTHING we face! You may think you're alone in what you're facing, but Christ has been there. He knows your most intimate desires & details of your life. He INVITES us to come to His throne room of GRACE, personally! No other man or woman is required for you to come... He wants you to come to Him, personally! No channels, chain of commands, no animal sacrifices as in Old Testament days... Jesus made a direct connection for YOU and ME!
"Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:14-16
He knows your needs...He is plentiful and rich in mercy, grace, love and best of all He is FAITHFUL! His love endures forever without conditions & stipulations! "Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;" Deuteronomy 7:9
There is nothing He can't or won't do for you! His love is real and all He requires is YOU! He gave is Son in order for us to have streamline, uninterrupted communication directly with Him. No one else in this world, past, present or future can LOVE you like Him! Best of all when you're His, you're His for all eternity! "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39
Friend, religion can't save you, nor help you. Only the blood of Christ can set you free. God has made a way where there seemed to be no way. Don't put yourself through man's ideals and requirements to "get to God". Jesus made it possible for us to walk WITH God. Let Him carry your burdens and struggles, He knows all you've done and all you face. Trust Him, His love is real!
