God is closer than He may appear!

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:8

I heard in my heart and mind this morning God calling to me. "I am here!"


Don't think that I am crazy; I did not here an audible voice but His unmistakable loving voice that beckoned me to be close. His loving whisper of an invitation to be with him to learn from Him to be embraced by Him.

Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the desert where your fathers tested and tried me, though they had seen what I did. Psalm 95


This passage goes on to say that their hearts went astray from the Lord and that for 40 years God was angry with them and they missed out on God's rest.


Imagine how much they missed out on because they did not listen to His voice.


God calls to us still!

Come to me.

When you are;

weary and wanting

tired and tense

lonely and leery

frustrated and fearful

gloomy and gutless

joyful and jumping

loving and listening

peaceful and patient

hungry and healing

Just come and learn from him!

He is closer than you think!

Father,

Thank you for your pursuing Love! It amazes me the creator of all, the sustainer of life, the Great I Am would come close to love us, beckon us to come and learn from you and to be loved by you. Tune my ear to hear your voice and to never miss out on time with you. Oh how I love to hear you gentle call, "come child". I love you.
