My Heart Is Desperate for Truth… Am I Too Far From God?
An Honest Encounter
Have you ever felt completely lost, yearning for something deeper yet unsure of where to turn? This feeling is common among many believers and seekers alike. We often find ourselves longing for truth and connection, questioning our relationship with God.
In a world flooded with information, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and distant from the Divine. Perhaps you’ve asked yourself, "Am I too far from God?"
The Heart’s Cry for Truth
Our hearts instinctively seek truth. It’s woven into our very beings. Just like King David, who cried out in Psalm 25:5, “Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.”
This verse reveals a profound longing for guidance, for clarity—something we all desire. When truth feels elusive, it’s important to remember that God is not far from us.
God’s Promises of Proximity
One of the most comforting truths from the Bible is found in James 4:8: “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.”
This promise affirms that even during seasons of doubt and distance, God is always waiting with open arms.
