- Recently, I've been asking God how I can get closer to Him, and I've honestly felt discouraged because I've been doing the same things routinely, such as reading His word and praying but feeling distant.
I was thinking about what I was doing wrong, and I realized the reason why I felt distant was not because of what I was or wasn't doing, but because of a mindset that said I was unworthy of his nearness. I felt undeserving of his presence because I wasn't giving God the attention He deserved.
But this is why God is God. He will continuously shower His love on us even if we don't reciprocate it. Jesus died on the cross so that we DON'T have to feel ashamed. When Jesus died on that cross, he MADE a way so that we CAN have intimacy with him. We are free from guilt and shame now! We CAN draw close to Him without any conditions. The veil was torn, and we are now able to enter the presence of God. It is only our own shame that deflects the intimacy that Jesus offers.
Lyrics:
Dear God
I've been trying awful hard to make You proud of me
But it seems
The harder that I try, all the harder it becomes
And I feel like giving up
Most of the time
Dear God
I've been chasing their approval and it's killin' me
And I know
The more I try to prove
All the less I have to show
And I'm stuck inside my head
Most of the time
But if I pray a little harder
If I follow all the rules
I wonder, could I ever be enough?
'Cause I try and try
Just to fall back down again
And I ask myself why
Do I try to chase the wind?
I should lean into the mystery
Maybe hope is found in a melody
So I wanna try again
Oh, I'm gonna try again
And dear child
I hope you know how much I love you and I'm proud of you
And please believe
The thoughts I have for you will never change or fade away
And when you felt like giving up
I never did
'Cause I'm not scared of imperfections
Or the questions in your head
Just know that you have always been enough
'Cause you tried and you tried
And I saw you wrestle with
Every how, every why
I was right there listening
So just fall into the mystery
And I'll meet you here in the melody
Try, just to try again
Oh, child would you try again?
My child, you can love again

This song reminds me of who Gods love is, that he isnt scared of our imperfectness, that despite what seems like a sunless future to us, he wants us to lean on him and rely on him for hope in the mystery.
