James 4:8

8Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

NIV

~~~~~~~~~~

7-10So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he'll be there in no time. Quit dabbling in sin. Purify your inner life. Quit playing the field. Hit bottom, and cry your eyes out. The fun and games are over. Get serious, really serious. Get down on your knees before the Master; it's the only way you'll get on your feet.
