Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
– James 4:8-10
This is not just about drawing near, itβs about how we draw near: with humility, repentance, and readiness to be lifted by grace. βWhere Mercy Meets the humble, behind the veil, blood was sprinkled. Before the Lord, hearts were broken. Mercy met the humble.β
