"DRAWING NEAR TO GOD" GIVES US PURPOSE AND HOPE - Conclusion

 For many, their hope is limited to this life-going to work, raising a family, and saving for retirement. God is not in the picture. On the other hand, Jehovah's servants place their hope on him. (Psalm 25:3-5; 1 Timothy 6:17) We trust God to whom we have drawn near, and we trust what he has promised us. Our future includes the prospect of worshipping him forever in Paradise. - Read PSALM 37:29.

Drawing near to God is good for us in many ways. For instance, Jehovah promises to forgive the sins of repentant ones who are close to him. (Isaiah 1:18) As a result, we do not have to carry the weight of a guilty conscience because of past sins. (Psalm 32:1-5) And we have the pleasure of making Jehovah happy. (Proverbs 23:15) Surely you can think of other blessings that result from a close friendship with God. How, though, can you keep drawing near to God.
