RIGHT HERE WITH YOU

Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

There might be lots of reasons why we don't 'feel' near to God or we 'feel' that God is far away but as is very often the case, our feelings can be very deceiving. 

Thankfully the scriptures tell us the truth and our verse today reminds us that, though we were far off at one time, yet now in Jesus He has brought us near to God and God near to us by His blood. God is now up close and very personal to each one of us because of the price Jesus paid.

Sometimes when things go wrong, or we feel ill, or we're disappointed with someone or something, we might be tempted to think God doesn't care, that He doesn't even know what's happening with us but that is so far from the truth. Psalm 139 and other scriptures tell us the truth of it. He knows when we get up and when we sit down, He knows the very thoughts in our minds, He knows how many hairs are on our heads, He knows the very breath we take. God knows each one of us intimately. 

So next time you 'feel' all alone, just remind yourself of what God says."I've brought you near to me by the blood of Christ. I'll never leave you nor abandon you. Don't let your heart be troubled but trust me.  Give Me all your worries and let Me care for you, let Me minister my peace, love and joy to you. Just turn to Me today and receive all the mercy and grace and help you need. I'm not far away at all - I'm right here with you."
