"I Am Not Far From You "Child of Mine, don't be discouraged in those times when it feels like I am very far away. I want you to know that I am with you always, even when you cannot sense My nearness. And just as I promised, I will never abandon you. I am every bit your loving Father, even when you don't feel that you are at your best spiritually. I do not reject you during those times, and I do not throw you away. No child, I am not disappointed with you and I have not disqualified you.
Dear child, I want you to know that you are just as loved when you feel distant from Me as you are when we are in the deepest of fellowship and intimacy. The fact remains that you are My own dear child, no matter what your feelings tell you. I am a loving Father and I am good, and I do not reject My own simply because they are having a bad day (or a bad week, or a bad month or even a bad year). It is always in My heart to restore you and to draw you close again.
It doesn't matter whether or not you feel loved--My love for you will not fail.
It doesn't matter whether or notyou think that are at your best spiritually--I will not abandon you or or push you away. It doesn't matter how dirty or unworthy you may feel at the moment--you are still My own dear child.
I will not abandon you.There are different things that cause you to feel as though you are far away from Me. I understand them all, and I deal with each one differently--but I do deal with them, because I truly do desire for you to feel close to Me again. I want to saturate you in My presence, and I want to overwhelm your senses with My nearness.
Child, I want to bless you and I want to bring you into deeper intimacy with Me. I am about to refresh your spirit and to restore hope. Can you trust in My goodness and believe that I am really going to do that? Yes, dear one, I am going to break through the driest desert and blow My sweet refreshment upon you. I am going to wash over you with My river of life, and make My living water once again burst forth out of your belly.I want to give rest to your weary soul, and I want to break every shred of discouragement off of you. I want to shower you in My goodness and I want to flood your senses with My nearness.
I am the God who delights in His own and I have every intention of drawing you close to Me once again. Don't be afraid, dear one. I am not going to push you away, no matter how dirty you feel. I am not going to abandon you, no matter how alone or isolated you may feel at the moment. Your feelings may lie to you, but I do not lie. I am your loving heavenly Father, and I am never far from you. So take heart, dear one, for I am very near to you.
