Near in Hebrew (kaw-robe) connotes ‘neighbor, at hand, family.’ God says of Himself that He is ready and willing to draw near to us. This is baffling and truly amazing. It is balm to the soul to realize that the ‘Lord of All Creation’ wants to be and is near His children. In an increasingly relationally disconnected and detached age, our precious ‘Emanuel’ (God with us) is still ever close. May we relent to His pursuit and lay down our defenses as He seeks to draw us near to Him. - Musings

“...The Lord is NEAR all who cry out to Him, all who cry out to Him sincerely.” Psalm 145:18b
