Scoot Closer to God

Tiffany Hampton and husband Mark

I was watching the boys roll a basketball back and forth tonight. At first they were fairly close together. It was easy rolling the ball just a short distance. Then the gap grew further. As the distance between them increased, so did the effort with rolling the ball. I could tell, especially with Tucker, that he was having to put more effort into his pass.
You know the distance between us and God is in our control. He isn't the one who ever scoots further away. He remains the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. If the distance in our relationship with God is far, then it takes more effort to reach Him. When we stay close to Him, the effort is minimal. The effort isn't really an effort at all. It's more like taking your next breath. Just natural.
I encourage myself, and you to consider how close God feels. If reaching Him seems to far, then scoot closer.
Have a blessed week!

God Bless
