I AM ALL AROUND YOU, hovering over you even as you
seek My Face. I am nearer than you dare believe,
closer than the air you breathe. If My children could
only recognize My Presence, they would never feel
lonely again. I know every thought before you think
it, every word before you speak it. My Presence
impinges on your innermost being. Can you see the
absurdity of trying to hide anything from Me? You
can easily deceive other people, and even yourself;
but I read you like an open, large-print book.
Deep within themselves, most people have some
awareness of My imminent Presence. Many people
run from Me and vehemently deny My existence,
because My closeness terrifies them. But My own
children have nothing to fear, for I have cleansed
them by My blood and clothed them in My
righteousness. Be blessed by My intimate nearness.
Since I live in you, let Me also live through you,
shining My Light into the darkness.
O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive
my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out
and my lying down; you are familiar with all my
ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it
completely, O LORD.
—PSALM 139:1–4
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away
have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
—EPHESIANS 2:13
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so
that in him we might become the righteousness of
God.
—2 CORINTHIANS 5:21
