Message in Brief

In this message, Pastor Ratna Maithra reflects on Psalm 34:18, emphasizing that God draws near to those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit. Rather than pride, envy, or self-exaltation, God desires humility, love, justice, and reverence for His Word. Citing passages from Isaiah, Micah, Psalms, and Luke, the message highlights how true repentance and humbling oneself before the Lord invites His holy presence, forgiveness, and salvation. When believers acknowledge their mistakes, fear God's Word, and walk obediently with humility, God lifts them up and grants them His divine presence and blessing.
