Show Notes

I want to be closer to You. I want to feel You when I breathe Feel You in all that I do, Know that You’ll never leave. I want my life to be about You Put Your wants over mine, Always do as You would do, Know that I will be just fine. Jesus, You’ve made me new. Guide the choices I make. Everything that I do Direct the steps that I take. Emily Acker Jesus will dwell with His people forever (Revelation 21:1-5). How does this promise give you hope when God seems distant? In the meantime, as Christians, we can rest in the knowledge that God has made us like Christ through the Holy Spirit; we are new creations in Him (2 Corinthians 5:17). By faith, we can claim the power of this transformation in our everyday lives (John 14:25-26; 2 Corinthians 3:18; 2 Peter 1:3). How does this promise give you comfort in the present? He [Jesus] must increase, but I must decrease. John 3:30 (CSB)
