What a wonderful thought that the God of the universe is waiting for us to come to Him so He can bless us and show us His great love and compassion. He's not waiting so He can tell us off or punish us!
Have you ever sat and waited for someone to arrive? If it's someone you love then you really looking forward to their arrival and you probably have the mugs out and some cake all ready or a meal prepared!
I think God is the same way with us. He loves us so much that He has all kinds of good things lined up for us but He can't give them to us until we arrive on His doorstep and come to sit down and spend some time with Him. We need to draw close to Him in order to receive from Him with a right heart and attitude.
If our loved one just breezed in for five minutes and said "I need this or that. Can I have it now?" and then breezed straight out again we'd not only be hurt but we'd know they don't care much about us. There would be no give and take in the relationship, only take.
God is waiting for us to come to Him willingly with a heart that would like to know Him better and spend some time with Him just for who He is. Even if we've done something wrong His arms of love are still open wide and wants to show us His love and mercy.
So may I encourage each one of us with the good news that God is waiting for us to come to Him any time of day or night and His heart is to bless us. His door is always open to us.😊
