Written by God is not pushing you away, He invites you near.
“ Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need..” Hebrews 4:16
You may feel ashamed or hesitant, but God welcomes you. Because of Jesus, you can come boldly for mercy and help. Your confidence is not in yourself but in Christ. Notice it doesn’t say come when you’re perfect, it says come boldly. Many people stay away from God because they feel “not good enough,” but this verse flips that thinking. The throne you approach is not one of judgment for believers, it’s a throne of grace. You don’t clean yourself up to come to God; you come to God, to get cleaned up so He can restore you. Your confidence isn’t in your goodness, it’s in His mercy.
Thought to Ponder:
What keeps me from approaching God boldly?
Journaling Prompt:
Describe what it means to be welcomed by God.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, help me come boldly to You. Block the thoughts, whispers and self-doubt that I have used to convince myself that you would never accept someone like me. Thank you Lord for this chance to be there with You. In Jesus Name Amen.
