Closer to You

I want to be closer to You. I want to feel You when I breathe— Feel You in all that I do, Know that You’ll never leave. I want my life to be about You— Put Your wants over mine, Always do as You would do, Know that I will be just fine. Jesus, You’ve made me new. Guide the choices I make. Everything that I do— Direct the steps that I take. • Emily Acker • Jesus will dwell with His people forever (Revelation 21:1-5). How does this promise give you hope when God seems distant? • In the meantime, as Christians, we can rest in the knowledge that God has made us like Christ through the Holy Spirit; we are new creations in Him (2 Corinthians 5:17). By faith, we can claim the power of this transformation in our everyday lives (John 14:25-26; 2 Corinthians 3:18; 2 Peter 1:3). How does this promise give you comfort in the present? He [Jesus] must increase, but I must decrease. John 3:30 (CSB)
