                    When You Feel Far From Me

I know you. I have seen you at every moment in your life and I know you.  
Having seen and felt your tears that rolled from your face when you were 
disappointed; I assure you, I knew.  When you didn't pray, study My word 
or even praise Me, I knew.  At times the trials were so great in your life 
that you thought it was because you were not faithful to Me.  You didn't 
know if I would receive you, but I knew.

Your sighs in labor were long and intense; and I knew.  I've even gone so 
far as to raise your head because you did not share with Me your shame, 
and I knew.  

So at times, I've breathed My breath to motion the trees, so that you'll 
know that I am there.  I've even rolled away the clouds just to catch a 
glimpse of you on your evening walks.  I've even gone so far as to make 
the sun shine brighter on you, just so you'll know that I was smiling at 
you.  I've followed you In the darkness of the night, just to make sure 
that you were safe.  

I am thinking of you at every possible moment. I know your expected end, 
and My blessings are upon your life.  You give me joy.  I delight in you.  
I know you.
