Becoming Closer to God

This holy week, I am tasked to give atleast a five minute talk to give some spiritual tips for my co employees. I search in the internet and I found series of things on how to become closer to God. I already made my powerpoint presentation on it. Until this day, I got to open and read my regular e-newsletter from Derek Prince.

The letter is all about the thing Jesus did on the cross to save us, to save me even if I am the only person left. Jesus endured the cross and he patiently take everything because it sets before him the joy once he overcome. And that joy is me and you, the joy of spending eternity with us. 

The message is clear that the first thing that we can become closer to Him is not simply reading the bible, going to church and do some religious stuff. I am not saying that it is wrong to do it, but what I am saying is that to become closer to Him, we must open our hearts to that joy, we must open open ourselves to a relationship with Jesus. We must want to have a relationship with Him before we can be close to Him. And this is the best and the most important tip that I can give to my co employees on Monday. Because once they opened their hearts to Jesus, everything will just go into the right place as we continue to pray, read His word and do the things Jesus likes.

To become closer to God, we need to receive Him with all our hearts and mind.
