Keeping Near Christ

John 1:14-17

It requires the grace of God keeping us near Christ to have our minds and emotions in the freedom of God working in us what He already finished and worked out about us.

In our walk down here He is still love, a love for us that flows in grace from a throne where we find His mercy right in the nick of time.

The Word of God unfolds itself, through the Holy Spirit taking those things of Christ when we look to God as we study it. The Holy Spirit takes the things that are ours, in our position in Christ, and reveals them to us in our experience.

When we go and feed there when we are weary and heavy-laden, through the trials of our faith, we will now in time and all of eternity, see how it all worked out for His glory and praise. And God would have us know when we are lonely and feeling alone, He is with us, who never leaves us alone or forsakes us.

So, don't count yourself lonely, because at times it is good to be alone with Him; He is the best company. In Him is where we find our comfort and only resting place.

May the fact of God's omniscience, His all-knowing about us in His Son, and about everything that we go through here, have a freeing and positive effect on us.

God would have us to remember that we may be the tiniest dot around, but that He is the circle around us.

(Gal. 5:1; Heb. 4:14-16; 13:5; 1 Cor. 2:9-16; 1 Pet. 1:5; 1 Jhn. 3:20; 4:4; 5:4; Heb. 12:1-4; Jhn. 19:30; 2 Cor. 4:7)

You are valuable to God; you have the treasure of His Son in you.
