GOD IS=NEAR TO US

 

GOD IS=NEAR TO US

 

SOMETIMES WE WAIT=and wait

For the ANSWERS

To our prayers=NEVER

Seeming to come

 

But sometimes=we just have to

DRAW a little CLOSER to God

And he will

Draw CLOSER to us

OUR GOD=IS NEAR TO US

 

“I have WAITED=

WAITED for the Lord

And he stooped toward me”                                                                                          Psalm 40:2

 

We wait a LOT

In this life=

IN the grocery store=in the bank

IT SEEMS EVERYWHERE!

 

It hardly SEEMS FAIR

That we

Have to WAIT ON OUR GOD

Let us draw=NEAR

To our God=let us get

CLOSE to God

 

“The LORD IS CLOSE

To the brokenhearted=and saves those

Who are crushed in spirit”                                                                                                 Psalm 34:18

 

“He tends his flock

Like a shepherd=

He gathers the lambs

In his arms=and carries them

CLOSE to his heart”                                                                                                       Isaiah 40:11

 

“I will bring them near

And he will

COME CLOSE to me--------

 

For who is he

Who will devote himself=

To be=CLOSE TO ME?”                                                                                                      Jeremiah 30:21

 

Our psalmist today

IS NOT dwelling on the waiting

ON our God

 

But MOSTLY on a God--------

WHO STOOPS to us

Who dares=DRAW NEAR to us

 

Sometimes we have to

CHANGE OUR PERSPECTIVE

On this waiting

 

And make a CONCENTRATED EFFORT

To draw CLOSE to our God

Who will COME NEAR TO US

 

WAIT PATIENTLY=for our God

He will surely come

 

“WAIT for the Lord=

Be strong=and take heart

AND WAIT=for the Lord”                                                                                                       Psalm 27:14

 

“For the Lord=

Is a God of justice=

Blessed are all=WHO WAIT FOR HIM”                                                                           Isaiah 30:18

 

God is always

CLOSE TO US=GOD IS

NEAR TO US!

 

He is IN our heart

When we=SAY

Our daily prayers

He is in our CHURCHES=

When we go to MASS=or church service

 

He is WAITING

In the yellow golden sun=or

In the bright blue ocean=he is in

A CHILD’S SMILE=he is everywhere

GOD IS=NEAR TO US!

 

Dear Lord=help us=to REMAIN PATIENT

As you move toward to us

In Jesus’ name=and IN the name= of our ALWAYS PATIENT=Holy Father God!
