O Lord, my God, my inseparable companion—nothing can sever my branch from Your vine (John 15:5). Whether or not I feel You near, You are always with me. Thank You that You’re not a faraway God. You are by me, within me, surrounding me, and upholding me.
Help me to be continually aware of Your presence. It’s so wonderful to know that I can communicate with You!—Not just to praise You, or to ask You favors, or to hear Your whispers in my heart, but to also chat with You as with a close friend. I can ask You questions, express my feelings, and in short, I can share my life with You.
Thank You that I don’t have to work for Your love. Thank You that it’s a free gift and You don’t base Your love for me on circumstances, conditions, and events. You loved me before I ever loved You (1 John 4:19).
