Some people sincerely believe they are close to God, but are self-deceived. Their "piety is like a morning cloud, like the dew that early passes away" (Hos 6:4). Others are much closer to God than they think. Finally, a few people have an accurate perception of their relationship with God.
Ask yourself if:
It is difficult to see our relationship with God rightly, but we can see clearly in the light of God's Church and His Word. Let's get real and get right with God.
