In Closeness To Me

In closeness to me, you are safe. In the intimacy of My Presence, you are energized. No matter where you are in the world, you know you belong when you sense My nearness. Ever since the Fall, man has experienced a gaping emptiness that only My Presence can fill. I designed you for close communication with your Creator. How I enjoyed walking in the garden with Adam and Eve, before the evil one deceived them!

When you commune with Me in the garden of your heart, both you and I are blessed. This is My way of living in the world- through you! Together we will push back the darkness, for I am the light of the world.

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.- PSALM 32:7 

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the tress of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, "Where are you?"- GENESIS 3:8-9 

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."- JOHN 8:12

The darkness in our lives can only be filled by our Lord God. He is the only one who can make us feel whole and purposeful. When we come to him and have that constant communication like we talked about yesterday, he will light our path for us.

Hiding from God will do us no justice. We can try as we may to stay out of his light, but he is the creator of this earth who knows every nook and cranny. He will always find us among his garden, this earth. To non believers this may seem scary, but for us, as followers of his word, we can be comforted by the fact that God will never lose sight of us.

If you are feeling like you are in a shadow or have fallen into darkness, I urge you to call for God. He is always there, just make the first move and he will shine light to your path.
