He is there, right by Your side.

Ps Eugene said this verse during service just now as we were worshipping Him with our voices,

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." - Luke 11:9

This is a verse that everyone knows but I often forget. I often forget that I just have to ask Him.
Even as I was spending time with God in these wee hours of morning, after such a long time of not being close to Him due to all kinds of big and small reasons, I still found my refuge in Him. Uber uber touched by Him, by His words. He forgives me still even if I had not spent enough time with Him and come back to Him, however thick-skinned I am. Was just sitting down in the living room and crying out to Him that I needed His presence right there and then. Telling Him that I know that I cannot rely on my feelings to "feel" Him so to please tell me in another way that He is there. Then He brought to mind John 7:37, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink,", which then was followed by another thought that He brought to mind "Hey, how about the Come Thirsty book my spiritual sisters gave to me? I haven't finished reading it yet." I got it out, sat down and began to read. As I read, words that He wanted me to focus on just popped out at me.

Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, not any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

God is so poetic lah (through Paul).... just to tell me that He has never walked away from me ever, not even for a millisecond. I feel so loved and so wowed by His love.

The little paragraphs that are written at the end of the book - God used them to touch me even more. "So don't worry, I never tire or sleep. I stand beside you. You are worried and troubled about many things, trust me with all your heart. My thoughts of you cannot be counted; they outnumber the grains of sand!" How can you bear not breaking down in tears realizing how much He loves you? Far more than anything, you realize what's important is not what He can give you, but He himself, the giver Himself.

Conclusion: God loves me and nothing can ever take that away from the two of us. When I just simply ask with a sincere heart that hungers for Him, He will not fail to show up.
