Deuteronomy 4: 7
For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things we call upon him for?
James 4: 8
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, purify your hearts, ye double-minded.
Getting closer to God is all about how you act around other people and read the Bible and if you follow the teachings in the Bible. Be kind to one another every day of your life. Help someone who needs a friendly voice, the elderly, the sick, the poor, and the downtrodden-ed. Remember, you will be on the receiving end someday and probably much sooner than you imagined possible.
Live each day of your life like it might be your last day on earth because it will eventually be your last day on earth. Ask yourself whether I gave help where it was needed today. Did I make someone smile today? Did I help someone carry their groceries to their car, and did I accomplish all the goals I could have today to help someone in need?
Visiting people regularly lifts their spirits and yours. When someone comes into a room, welcome them with open arms, and they will feel welcomed and return to the group again soon. Do not ignore people; it makes them uncomfortable and unwelcome. Treat people with respect and do not judge people, for you have no idea what they have been through or endured in their lifetime. People have dealt with horrific and terrible things through the years, so be kind, considerate, and compassionate to your fellow man.
