Feeling Far Away

Feeling Far Away

This morning, Lord, I feel far from you. Thank you for this opportunity to walk with you by faith, not feeling close, but knowing that you are there, within me, around me, loving me, even though I don’t feel it.

As you have been transforming me through worship, you have deepened my emotional grasp of your love for me through lifting my soul to you. This strongly reinforces the intellectual knowledge of your gracious acceptance of me as your dearly loved son in whom you delight. I am like the baby in this picture, being fed by you  while I hold onto your finger, .knowing I am perfectly safe in you

In this growth you give

a rest,

a security,

a certainty of my relationship with you which is filled with

forgiveness,

gracious correction,

firm direction,

deepening knowledge,

a joyful walk and

light-filled days, no matter what is happening around me.

This all gives me a desire to obey you, to please you, to love you, to avoid grieving you. Help  me to live that way today.
