God draws as near to us as we are willing to be in closeness to God.  We tend to think that God does not want to draw so close to us, but it is we who do not want to draw close to us.  We have judged ourselves as not worthy or fitting of the love that God embodies.  It makes no sense that the Creator would not want to be a full part and as accessible to His or Her Creation in all ways possible.  When we are willing to let go of the idea that God thinks as we do, then we are open to allowing God full access to us.  God wants to take up as much space in our hearts for which we are willing to make room.  I very vividly remember that night on the beach with the loving presence Jesus standing behind me, his arms wrapped around me and hands on my heart.  He was gently pulling at my chest and I thought my ribs would break open as tears streamed down my face.  He comforted me and said we needed to open up my heart so I could release the anger and make room for the love. I remember the feeling of surrender and willingness to allow God to reach within my very being and guide me to let go of that which did not belong in my heart.  I had no ideas how much joy I would be opened to after the pain subsided or how much lighter my heart feels as it beats in my chest today.  I am so glad that I had the courage to choose full accessibility.

My prayer for us is the willingness to choose how accessible we want God to be to our hearts today.

If God created you out of love and wants to open you up to experience a fullness of love in your heart, what areas or thoughts might you be willing to make accessible to God today?  Share in the comments.
