Nearness That Reshapes Us

Good morning Brothers, Happy Sunday. Thank God for waking you up on this first day of the week. God loves you. I love you. Today pray for a family member you haven’t seen in a while. God will hear and answer your prayers. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.(Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭12‬). Let’s sing, Out of my bondage, sorrow and night, Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come; Into Thy freedom, gladness and light, Jesus, I come to Thee; Out of my sickness into Thy health, Out of my want and into Thy wealth, Out of my sin and into Thyself, Jesus, I come to Thee. This morning’s verse is from Psalms 27:4. One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. David's longing isn't for a spectacular building but for closeness with God the kind of nearness that reshapes a person and brings true peace. David's answer exposes humanity's deepest desire to be safe, loved, and at peace with our creator. As you look for ways to dwell in God's presence today, check out your Bible. There, He walks alongside you with reflections, and stories to help you see his Word as one unified story leading to Jesus. Ask yourself, What do I want most? (To gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.) God loves you. Have a blessed day.
