"A boy asked his Father: ‘Dad what is the size of God?"
Then the Father looked up at the sky and saw a plane and asked his son: "What is the size of this plane?" The boy replied: "It is very small. I can hardly see it." Then, the father took him to the airport and as they approached a plane, he asked: "Now, my son, how big is this plane?" The boy replied: "Wow dad, it’s huge!" Then the father told him: "God’s size depends on how close or far you are to Him. The closer you are to Him, the greater and greater He will be in your life." James 4:8 “Come near to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail….Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.” I often hear people ask, "why God is so far away?" I’ve felt it myself. When I take a step back and think about it, it’s really me who has moved further from Him. Do you feel God is distant? Draw near to Him, step out and talk to Him, pray, read His word, engage in worship, go to church, get back into your small group, or find a small group, turn from the sinful ways of your past that maybe you’ve gone back to. “The closer you are to Him, the greater and greater He will be in your life.” It’s so true, it’s usually me who has grown distant, unfaithful, “too busy”, not Him. He’s always there, waiting with open, loving arms. If you’re feeling He’s distant, draw near to Him, you’ll see. Blessings, Pastor Delinda
