What do I know of holy?

Have you ever felt too sinful to come to Jesus?
Have you ever felt like God is too holy to draw near to?
Sometimes I am blown away by the power of God.
Sometimes it brings me to tears.

The other day I was driving home from a ladies bible study that I attend at my daughters school.  Our time together was awesome, we prayed together for all our prayer needs, and there were many.  A few ladies layed hands on me and they all prayed for me.  As I began to drive home I had my worship music playing and I began to worship and pray.  As I sought the Lord in prayer I could feel his presence in the car.  As I was praying it came to me - I just turned my head and said "you are right here" - Holiness, the Almighty God, who is holy, was next to me in my car.  I didn't have to try to get to him, he was right there.  As I worshipped tears filled my eyes and I felt overwhelmed to be in his presence.

He is here in my presence right now.  He is there, right by you now.  Are you struggling with a sin?  He is there right next to you, not judging you, but beckoning for you to release it to him.  Are you lonely?  He is right there next to you and wants you to know that.  Are you afraid?  He is right there next to you, with his arms wrapped around you telling you "do not be afraid."

I think so many of us have made God way too small.  We have packaged him just the way we want him.  To fit our life.  Lay it all down and open yourself up to him completely.  Lay aside all the man made teachings of God and look to the bible.  This Almighty God, creator of everything, creator of YOU is bigger than what your little mind can comprehend.  There is nothing too big for him, no circumstance that he cannot handle.    He loves you with a love that will never fail you.

Take a moment to worship.
