About accessing God…
Psalm 119:115 Yet you are near, O LORD, and all your
commands are true. (NIV)
To be one with God in this life we need some kind of easy
way of accessing God, but we do not have this easy way. We need a way of calling Him on
the telephone but our telephones do not reach His kingdom in Heaven. On earth in this
life, we access God and we become one with Him by being honest with Him. We access God by
pouring out everything that is in our life before Him not even knowing if He will respond
before we pour out our life. To be one with God, we need faith before we require faith
will give us anything in return. To be one with God, we need to admit to ourselves and to
God we are sinners. However, as sinners, we do not want to make this kind of admission. To
be one with God, we need to tell God we are sorry for crucifying His Son. However, as
sinners, we do not really believe we crucified Him. Achieving a oneness with God takes us
to a place we would really not rather go because oneness with God requires we do work with
our heart, mind, and soul that is painfully honest. To keep us away from God, the voice of
Satan is in us telling us we can be rid of our problems in other ways. When we reject
Satan and embrace Christ, the oneness we seek in life becomes a reality. When we think
there is no one who cares about us, Jesus wraps His arms around us when we think there is
no one. When we think there is no hope, He touches us and tells us to lift our eyes up to
Heaven. For in Heaven and from Heaven, there is always hope. At the last second of our
life, we are closer to the ultimate fulfillment of our hope in life than at any other
time. For our hope on earth in this life is but a tiny whisper compared to the fulfillment
of that hope when we see Christ in Heaven.
