Tryna holla at #drawnear?

Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

- Hebrews 10:19-39

Did you know that the command "draw near to God" is repeated 7 times just in the book of Hebrews? This command to draw near is linked with themes of trusting God and growing deeper intimacy in personal relationship with Him and His holiness.

As we persist in drawing near to our Abba Dad, please feel free to share about what He's been teaching you and speaking into your life! We want to recognize how God has been moving within you this week, and also celebrate the fact that He is making good on His promise and drawing near to us in return.

Not only is it exciting to hear what you may have received during your time with Him, but it is also extremely encouraging. When you share about how He's been meeting you in your personal time together, it electrifies something in another person's spirit that causes them to want more of Him too! Sharing your stories about Him will prod and prompt others to continue to draw near and press on throughout the month of April.

So let's talk about it! Comment on this blog, write on the Draw Near Facebook wall, tweet about #drawnear, grab a friend, tell your small group, alert the lady at Dukes while she swipes your punch- just don't keep it to yourself! We want to hear YOUR story. Let's praise Him for what He's doing!
