Your Way, God's Way

So far, 2013 has been the best year ever. I know it’s early to be saying so, but that is the way that my year has been. What has been making this year so great? It’s not been a something as much as a someone. But the real surprise is not that it’s a someone, but who it is. It’s been God. I've been placing prayers and thoughts in my mind and heart. Praying and thinking about God. Not in an intellectual way as I have generally done in the past but in a heart way. Simply sitting down and taking the time to talk to God. To read His Word. To  meditate on the meaning of verses. Listening  to  music with the conscience thought of singing it to God, not just to sing.

When we draw close to God, he will draw close to us. That is what I have been doing, and that is what I have been doing. Nothing else. If there is anything or anyone keeping you from God—Father—something has got to be done. You are not living until you are living in the mental and spiritual presence of God. I have experienced a great many things, many of them great, but there is nothing even somewhat close to what it is like to be close to God. You, everyone really, has the chance to reach out to the Creator and find His 
hand there waiting for you to take yours the whole time. 

What is keeping you from doing the only thing that really matters. Does it make sense to continue to do the same thing that will not ever yield any better results. If you  have tried doing things your way, maybe give God a chance to do things his way. You will be amazed at what a difference it can make.
