How Close Is God

When the world seems to close in around us we might have a tendency to wonder if God is nearby.  Do you ever felt that way?  I have. 

I hope these reminders encourage you. 

How close is God?

He is as close as …

-The birth of a baby
   -A breath of air
      -A baby’s soft cries

-A couple in love
   -An act of grace given without fanfare
      -A soldier standing in harm’s way

-A child’s laughter
   -A flower bud bursting open
      -The song of a bird

-The words “I love you”
   -A smile
      -A healing touch

-A word of encouragement
   -A friend when in need
      -A stranger offering a helping hand

-An orange fresh from the tree
   -A sunrise
      -A sunset

-A clap of thunder
   -Rainfall on a tin roof
      -Music that stirs the soul

-A cheery phone call
   -A cup of coffee with a friend
      -A loving touch of assurance

-A musician performing from his/her heart
   -A job offer
      -A loan approval

-A dose of medicine properly applied
   -A wise word properly stated
      -Significant words from His book


Become aware of the nearness of God.  He’s not just found in church on Sunday you know.
