God of Grace – Hebrews 4:16

When Moses encountered the presence of the Lord, something incredible happened—his face became radiant. The glory of God was so powerful, so overwhelming, that the people were afraid to come near him (Exodus 34:29–35). But as that glory began to fade, Moses hid his face behind a veil. Isn’t that just like us? We glow when we’re close to God, but when our spiritual walk starts to falter, we pull away. We hide. Yet even in those moments, the God of grace invites us to come near—not with shame, but with confidence and honesty.

Hebrews 4:16 reminds us of this beautiful truth: “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” When we feel weak, worn out, or full of regret, our natural instinct might be to withdraw. But God’s heart is never to condemn—His desire is to restore. The God of grace isn’t waiting to punish you; He’s waiting to embrace you.

We don’t need to pretend we’re perfect. We don’t need to veil our brokenness or hide behind a mask of spiritual strength. God already sees it all—and He loves you anyway. He wants you to come boldly, to confess, to lay your burdens down, and to find healing in His presence.

When we stop hiding and step into the light of His love, something powerful happens: we begin to shine again. Not because we’re strong, but because His glory reflects through us. His grace makes us radiant.

If you’ve been feeling distant from God lately, I get it—I’ve been there too. But you’re not too far gone. 1 John 1:9 is a powerful reminder that His forgiveness is always available. And if you’re struggling to open up, this post on confessing our faults might be just what you need to take that next step.

Don’t wait. Come boldly to the God of grace today. He’s not just waiting for you—He’s already reaching out.

We do not want others to see our sins or weaknesses, so we avoid them. Or worse, we stop spending time with the Lord because we feel guilty or convicted. Well, here is the good news. God is a God of grace, love, and forgiveness. He wants you to come to Him boldly and confess your failures. He loves you deeply and wants to set you free from condemnation. You are never too deep in your transgressions to turn back to Him. He will be waiting with arms open wide and His glory will make you shine
