"Come near to God and he will come near to you." -- James 4:8

I believe God is near to each of us.  Nearer than we can imagine.  I believe that he speaks to us, but we must be open to hear him.  Sometimes when life is difficult, I wonder where God is...  before asking myself his whereabouts, I felt he was absent, but then in that moment of asking, I sense his presence. It's not that God went away... I did.  It's like standing in the shade on a cool day and saying it's cold, only to step out into the sun and feel warm again.  If you want to experience God, step out of the shadows.

Readings:  Ezekiel 40:28-41:26; James 4:1-17; Psalm 118:19-29; Proverbs 28:3-5
