Jesus Draw Me Close To You

A few months ago, I signed up for Christian Dating site.

The reason being is that I want to meet a man who will respect my faith and values as a Christian woman. I find it hard to meet decent men, as I live and work in a very small town and do not like to go to bars or the usual hangouts. My faith is the most important aspect of my life and I want to meet a gentleman I can share that with but have fun with too. Besides, i want to find Christian friends too and I met this good and handsome young man who is musicians, songwriter and worship leader.He is a good friend.

His name is Kaspars Ezerins.

You can listen to his music at https://soundcloud.com/ezerins and Tuvak Tev.

Here is one of my favourite Tuvak Tev 2 in G - Kaspars Ezeriņš ( + voice - Kristīne Prauliņa ).

This song is in Latvian language but here's the translation:

Closer To You i want be

Feel your touch and presence

And feel your quite whisper

Never let me walk away from You

I want stay in your presence

And feel how you touch my heart.

Coz, You transform my life

Coz You come and set me free

I think he did a good job.

The Bible promises that if we seek God, He will come to us. But the major things that separates us from God is SIN. How to get closer to God when we did sin everyday? We have broken His Law over and over again throughout our lives.To get closer to God, we must experience God and feel God's presence in our lives.If we truly want to find God, we must be willing to do the things that God wants us to do.

Here's the prayer example to draw us closer to God:

Lord help me set aside time each day to meet with You alone. As I come before You, teach me to pray in the way You want me to. Help me to learn more about You, Lord. You have said, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink." I thirst for more of You, because I am in a dry place without You. I come to You this day and drink deeply of Your Spirit. I know You are everywhere, but I also know there are deeper manifestations of your presence that I long to experience. Draw me close as I draw near to you, so that I'm a dwell in Your presence like never before.

I hope this entry can open our hearts to always find God in our lives.If we honestly want to get closer to God and are willing to do the things he asks, he will show himself to you.

STORY 2 : HAPPY SABBATH DAY

God Told His people to pick up only enough manna for one day. Some of the people did not obey God.They said, "We don't want to get up so early. The manna is all gone when the sun is hot. We will pick up manna for two days. Then we can have a long sleep in the morning."

So they picked up enough manna for two days. But the next morning there was a very bad smell in their tents.The extra manna had spoiled and they had to throw it away.

God told the people another thing about the manna. He said that on the day before the seventh day,they should pick up enough manna. Then they would not have to pick up manna on the Sabbath,the rest day. Again there were people who did not obey God. They said,"Remember how the food spoiled when we picked up twice as much? We will not pick up extra manna on the day before the Sabbath." 

And they did not ! They laugh at the people who were obeying God.

But when Sabbath came there was no manna on the ground.They looked and looked, but there was none! The extra manna did not spoil for the people who obeyed God.It wassweet and delicious. So the families of the people who did not obey,were hungry that Sabbath day.

When God created the earth, He made it in six days. Then He rested on seventh day, the Sabbath. He made the day special. When He made the first people, Adam and Eve, God came down to visit them on the seventh day.

This day was to be a day that God's people would remember Him. They would have time to look at the beauiful things God had made. They could go to church to sing and pray to Him. They would have time to read Bible stories and go for walks. God wants us to love the special day He has given to us.

REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY (EXODUS 20:8-11)

STORY 1 : BREAD FROM HEAVEN

After walking through the Red Sea, the people had a rest at a place where there were wells of water and palm trees. Then it waas time to move on again. Tents werw rolled up. Wter bags werw filled. Food Was made to eat on the trip. The people were going to a mountain called Mount Sinai.

The cloud moved and everyone followed.But some people were not happy. They forgot how God had cared for them.The food the people had brought from Egypt was almost gone. Soon there would be no flour or oil. What would they eat? There was no food out here in the desert.
" Why did Moses bring us here?" they asked.
" We will starve to death."

They came to Moses and Aaron.
"Give us bread, "they said.
"We wish we were in Egypt.There we had many good things to eat."
Moses went to pray to God again. God told Moses He would send food. And He did.

Early the next morning,there were many white grains on the ground. "What is it?" the people asked. They tasted the small white grains. It was very good. They called it MANNA. The word "manna" means "What Is It?". Moses told the people that new manna would be on the ground every morning  for them. Everyone liked the manna. Mothers used it to make flour to bake things. They cooked the manna or ate it raw.

Everyone was happy for the good food God had sent.
