Sometimes it seems like your spiritual life is going nowhere, right? It feels like the Scriptures are old, cold and dry. It seems like God is silent as the grave and when you pray, you get nothing. The problem is, you blame yourself for this, don’t you? When you aren’t getting much out of your own walk with the Lord, you pretty much assume it’s because you are to blame. You’re thinking of sins in your life and your own inconsistency. You’re thinking you just aren’t very spiritually mature and you just don’t know what to do. Probably the worst thing that happens is that you think that God is going to distance Himself from you because of this low season you’re having. You assume that God only wants to be close to spiritual studs and not scrubs like you think you are. If any of this describes the way you feel, you need to keep reading. First of all, you aren’t a scrub. You are a beloved child of the Living God. Jesus isn’t punishing your inconsistency by withdrawing His love and presence from you. Another thing you need to know is that this dry spell is just a part of life. It’s not your fault and it’s not a result of your sin. It’s normal, it’s okay and it will pass. In John 15, Jesus said He wants to be your friend. Then, He went on in the very next verse to say that He chose you, not the other way around. This friendship was Jesus’ idea. He wanted you first and He wants to be close more than you can imagine. He understands where you are and knows it’s going to pass.
