Giving My Best to God Every Time

Before the Vancouver Camp, I struggled to stay focused during meetings. Because my spiritual condition wasn't in a good place, I often felt empty and lonely. However, during the first Friday meeting after arriving in Vancouver, something shifted - I felt a strong desire to give God my absolute best no matter my circumstances.
The message that night mentioned the story of Cain and Abel's offerings. It made me reflect: Did I want to be like Cain, only offering my best to God when it was convenient? That meeting was a gentle reminder from God. That night, I prayed and told Him that I genuinely wanted to give Him my best in every opportunity I was given.
Since then, I’ve kept reflecting on the messages and my promise to stay close to Him. As I draw near to God, He truly draws near to me. Now that I feel His presence every day, my heart is overflowing and the distance I used to feel is completely gone!
