Understand what God is doing for you.

Jesus Christ is the difference between the old and the new, right and wrong. If you are choosing to growing closer to God many things in your life will change. The old/ current you will pass away. A new you will be strengthened. The Holy Spirit will make a noticeable change in your life. Everything from the way you walk, talk, and behave will all change. All this will happen because you have stepped out of your own way and allowed God to work. 

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has old has gone, the new is here. 

As you grow closer to God you will find out a lot about your self. Listen to what He had to say about us at one time, "Once you where alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior." Colossians 1:22. That's biblical....

Seeing scripture describe Gods relationship with us as alienated, an enemy, all due to our own actions of evil behaviors hurts. What's tough about growing closer to God is, at some point your are going to have to except every bit of the Word, as truth. Skipping over what you do not want, is part of why God alienated Himself.

Growing with God can only, be done with faith. Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
