Stepping Stones: God Is Always Lovingly Pursuing Us

Transformational Tip
Know that God is closer than you could ever believe...he is closer than the air you breathe. God created us to be with him, and even though we chose to do life without Him, He continues to lovingly and relentlessly pursue us. What king or leader would sacrifice all he had, prestige, glory, comforts, to become a baby to a conquered people's teenage peon mother. Born in a stable and sleep in an animal's food trough. Jesus did this then gave his life humbly so we could be in a relationship with God. He is always with you, wanting to help and comfort you. If you recognize and accept this fact, you will never feel lonely again. Spend time with and enjoy Him today.

Prayer
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for your Word which tells me of your ever presence, your closeness to me. Let the times when loneliness envelopes me remind me of my need for you. I deeply desire to experience your closeness. Please help me and those in my life to take the stepping stone to You. I come to you with my human frailty and weakness, fill me with Your Holy Spirit and with the life you have intended for me. I pray this in Your holy name - Amen.

The Truth
Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.
Genesis 28:16
The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.
Psalm 145:18
