The Nearness of You

This morning I woke early and just wanted to be "near Him". I guess I just wanted to feel His embrace of truth. I was tired of my thoughts and distractions and wanted them to be washed away by HIM. Funny how a Nora Jones song means a lot in a moment like this. "It's not the pale moon that excites me That thrills and delights me, oh no It's just the nearness of you It isn't your sweet conversation That brings this sensation, oh no It's just the nearness of you When you're in my arms and I feel you so close to me All my wildest dreams came true I need no soft lights to enchant me If you'll only grant me the right To hold you ever so tight And to feel in the night the nearness of you" One day I will see this God clearly and as plain as day. One day all the questions will be answered too. In the meantime, it's His nearness that I KNOW exists. I can see it all around in His creation but when I feel Him near, that's awesome!!
