Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.

And if we’re honest, true obedience to God requires closeness too. It’s in the closeness that we get refined and purified. So today, we are asking God to draw close to us and we seek after Him.

Advent Reflections – Even in the Waiting – Day 2

I have been lost a time or two. Usually, because I got distracted and wandered off the intended path. Whatever sparked my interest was enough to cause me to lose sight of my intended destination.
