Cherish God’s Loving Presence

I recently saw a sign outside a nearby church that said, “If you don’t feel close to God, who moved?” God is eternally present. Some people, however, distance themselves from him. This can occur for several reasons. They may take him for granted, are distracted by other priorities, or think they have no need for him. Others feel unworthy of his help. God always invites people to know him better. He is as patient

as he is loving. In life’s highs and lows, and in ordinary and transcendent moments, God can touch our hearts. Let us respond to his call to be close to him.
