Even when we "come home" to the Father through the Son and receive the Holy Spirit, we can forget that God invites us to talk with Him. God enjoys spending time with us. He wants to hang out and talk about life. We can forget this. We can also forget that we're forgiven. The things that used to separate us from God are no longer there. We can go talk with God at any time.
In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. (Ephesians 3:12 NIV)
We can not only forget that God wants to hang out and talk with us. We can also forget that God wants to help. Since God created all that is seen and unseen and still holds all things together, God can really help in all situations. God won't necessarily change your circumstances, but God will always give you the grace, wisdom, and strength to navigate the situation you are in. All we have to do is ask.
Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16 NIV)
So how about you? Do you approach God with freedom and confidence? Do you talk with Him in prayer? Do you receive God's mercy when you fail, and receive the grace to continue? Do you hang out with God?
