When a phone rings, we automatically pick it up and answer it but are we as quick to answer a call from God? Do we know that God is calling all of us to deeper intimacy? Do we answer our spiritual call as quickly as we answer our earthly call? No matter who we are, God wants us to draw near because he loves and values us. Perhaps we feel that we won’t be accepted, yet it says in the Bible ‘Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.’ It also says, ‘Let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace where we may receive mercy and may receive grace to help in our time of need.’
So, the next time your phone rings, why not remember to also answer your spiritual call from the Lord and receive mercy, grace and assurance of how much you are loved.
