MEDITATION

Is the Lord near you today? Can you feel His presence and companionship throughout your days? If not, cry out to Him - seek Him. If you know Him and are known by Him, He should not be some distant Being that you randomly call upon now and then. Cultivate a moment by moment interaction with Him today.
