One of the greatest gifts we can receive is to recognize that we are far from the Lord, that we have drifted away. Ask Him for forgiveness and to draw us to Himself, by His mighty power. The journey of a thousand steps starts with just one. How great it is to be in His presence!
God doesn't need us or our efforts! Even our work and service to Him is quickly replaced. It's like removing our finger from a cup of water where barely a ripple is made as the void is quickly covered. Yet He desires and chooses us to be a part of His great plan. For our good!
