So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” - Isaiah 6:5

The closer that I get to God; the more aware I am of my sinful state. Perhaps that is why (and maybe you, too) are reluctant to devote more “one-on-one” time with the Almighty.

It makes sense that the “unbeliever” would shun the God’s presence, since the illumination of His Spirit brings conviction and presses for a conscious response to the grace of God: Repentance or rejection (John 3:20; John 16:8,9). However, Biblical Christians - who recognize communion with Christ as the remedy for past, present and future sin - should gladly run to Him when they are so much as tempted.

May I get to the point where the knowledge and awareness of my unholiness compels me to passionately seek the life of Christ as the only rest for my soul (Psalm 42:1,2; Matt. 11:28,29).
