Throne Of Grace

I was reading Hebrews yesterday, and the Word says:

Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may recieve mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Heb 4:16

The THRONE OF GRACE - the throne where our king Jesus sits and reigns.
The throne that will not refuse anyone who approaches it.
Before this throne is there miracles take place and personal lives are changed.
Before this throne of grace is where intimacy with God is experienced; my walls of fear and doubt collapse; the grace clothes me in something new over and over again; the provider claims Lifetime Guarantee and you don't want anything else, no lame copies of the real thing.
Before this throne is where I want to laugh and cry, forever.

It is so encouraging to read God's invitation to intimacy with Him with confidence.
With confidence means without a shadow of a doubt, no matter what I need to unload there in front of the throne of grace, because that is exactly what He wishes: To trust Him when He says:
"Come, find rest in me. Come for help in your time of need. Come, I am completely yours. Open your heart, relax, be free; this place is your perfect protection. Only this close to me can you experience all that I AM. Come, approach my throne of grace with confidence."

Yes, ...and then in the middle of every next experience of intimacy with God it becomes clearer and clearer that this is the only thing that really matters. There is where I realize that all other things present in my life, are irrelevant. God is enough to take me thtrough my days.
