                            Draw Nigh

I am the Lord your God, I am mighty to save! I hold each moment of your 
life in the palm of My hands, and in the very beat of My heart. My love 
for you is everlasting and I desire your closeness. 

Have I not told you that as you draw nigh to Me, I will draw night to 
you? Oh yes, My child, I will draw nigh to you indeed. In fact, your 
desire to be close to Me is only a drop in the bucket compared to My 
desire to be close to you. I love you and I am your God! 

My presence and My anointing are upon you, for you are My people and I 
am your God. I go with you in the battles, I triumph over your foes. The 
victory is Mine--and because it is Mine it is also yours. I am like a 
father who loves and protects his children; My eyes are never away from 
you and My hand never far from you. 

My love for you will never run cold. I am your God!
