Sometimes in the crush of our daily duties, God may seem far away, but He is not. God is everywhere we have ever been and everywhere we will ever go. He is with us night and day. He knows our thoughts and prayers. And when we earnestly seek Him, we will find Him, because He is here, waiting patiently for us to reach out to Him. May we reach to Him today and always. And may we praise Him for the glorious gifts that have transformed us today and forever. Do you seek an intimate one-to-one relationship with your Heavenly Father, or are you satisfied to keep Him at a "safe" distance? Remember life in God is a great big hug that lasts forever! John 15:9.
