Everyday: Growing in FaithSample

Have you ever had a friend that didn’t make a lot of time for you? Eventually, it probably made it difficult to feel close to them. After all, if you’re never spending time together, how can you stay close and connected? Well, our faith can work the same way. Sometimes we’re all about spending time with and getting to know God. Other times, life gets in the way. Things like social media, sports, friends, homework, and all the other things going on in our lives hold us back. While those things aren’t bad, they can get in the way of our relationship with God if we let them. The good news is, that we can always move close to God again, and, almost like a magnet, God promises to come close to us when we do. That’s the promise of our faith!

Write this verse down where you can see it often. Let it serve as a reminder to stay close and connected to God in your everyday life.
