James 4:8
"Come close to God, and God will come close to you....."
In our small group a couple of weeks ago, Pastor Erik mentioned this verse and it has reasonated with me for awhile. The one question I had about this was....what would that actually look like? I thought about that and God gave me a clear answer. It looks like a magnet. A magnet will attract some metal objects to itself. So, if God is the magnet and we are metal, we are bound to come close to each other and most likely stick together. The question is how do we get on a path towards God and stick to him? I would suggest praying, reading the scriptures, listening to worship/christian music, serve others rather than yourself, attend church regularly, get in a small group, etc. The list goes on and on but if you can start by just doing a few of these you will notice God's attractional pull on your life to stick with him. You will also feel that closeness with God that you want and actually need in your life.
