Every person can say that God is forgiving; God is kind; God understands. However, all of these beliefs in reality turn to waste once we are conscious that we have done something wrong against him. We, most of the time, blame ourselves and isolate ourselves from recognizing the fact that God is God and we are nothing but mere human beings who always commit mistakes. Out longing mind persuade us that we are not worthy to come before him. The longer we entertain this kind of thinking, the farther we drift away from god. Once we have realized that we have to ask god for forgiveness, the harder it feels since we have already built that gap between god and us. No matter how hard we try to reach god, something stops us... We feel so isolated and helpless and yes, God is out of reach...
This is man's shortcoming. Even when dealing with god, man thinks he is the only one at work. He takes so much pride in himself that he tries to reach god with his own efforts. The distance between God and man is only within God's reach. Man only has to be humble enough to admit his faults when we have committed errors in our Christian life, God has already offered his hand to us to always give us another chance, we human beings, however, chose to reach god by our own way neglecting the already offered hand of god.
In a Christian life, god is not the one who moves far away when his children have made mistakes; it is man who creates that mental space between god and him. There is really no distance. It is merely an illusion of the human mind stating that God has left us because of our faults. The truth is, God is always there beside us reaching out while we convince ourselves of the gravity of our faults.....
