"at times I do not see You, even though You were close by"
recalling the two disciples on the Road to Emmaus, who walked on and talked about Christ, about the events of the preceding days, filled with grief, yet having a tinge of hope remaining - yes it was the third day! and whilst walking they meet a stranger, who begins to unravel the many prophecies and words of the past, strengthening their faith and reminding them of the things that were promised. They indite him to a meal. and when He breaks the bread, they realize who He is:
remember Joshua on the night before the conquest of Jericho - who ran into a commander and questioned his allegiances - only to bow down before Him at the realization of who He really was.
somehow. the Lord is ever so near. how many times have we gone along life not realising that He is battling the storms of life alongside us?
alone but never really alone.
those many times i walked home alone, he was there giving me a pat on the back, telling me that He was there for me in all the times of confusion and pain. and i chose to ignore. but still, he never left, never did, never will. And i trust that for all who are going through tough times now, he will never let you be plucked out of his everlasting arms!
he was there for Elijah under the juniper tree - he was there for me - and for many many other people. and he's there for you (:
smile. He's closer than you think.
(now i shall proceed to labour, on this uneventful labour day, save the Macdonald's breakfast...hmm, wonderful times with family, wonderful times with God (: )
Did our hearts not burn within us as He spoke those words?

Closer than a brother
no longer, so far away
Jesus, now I can touch you
feel you in my heart
every time i start to give you praise
I know you're getting closer!
