Closer than I think sometimes. I know He is there all the time but sometimes things are so hectic that I forget. It isn't Him that has moved, but me. I become so consumed with things going on around me that I don't turn to Him when I should. The last few days have been so precious. Like He has been holding me the whole time. Like a Father would hold his little girl when she is crying. This morning I realized or thought about how we might have a more intimate relationship with God if we turned to Him immediately when there was a problem or just stayed in communion with Him at all times. "Pray without ceasing"...I don't think that means to do nothing else but pray the entire time but instead means to be in a spirit of prayer at all times. Driving, cooking, cleaning, helping kids with homework, whatever....just be at His feet always.
When I spend time in His word or listen to good, solid Christian music, I am more in tune to feeling Him or hearing from him. It is when I get "busy" with other things that I am distracted from His gaze. I need to be more intentional about my time with the Lord. He is so precious and His love for me is great. "I love you people with a love that will last forever. That is why I have continued showing you kindness." Jeremiah 31:3
