Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
James 4:8

There is nowhere we can go and escape the presence of Almighty God. He is everywhere. He is constantly seeking to reveal Himself to us. While we desire to be near Him, we also have a tendency to think of Him being off in the distance. A.W. Tozer; said "He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts." It is never a question of God being close to us, but always of us recognizing His presence. It may seem that God is not speaking to us, as He does to others, as if He has chosen favorites. The reality is, they are choosing Him. They choose to surrender themselves totally and to seek Him with their whole heart, spending time waiting and listening for the sound of His voice. God is always present, it is we who are sometimes absent.
