I´m As Close As I´m Going To Get

I am as close to you as I am going to get.

Immanuel is Me with you. The finished work of the cross is me in you.

So don’t expect me to get any closer to you than I am.

You ask why I seem so far away. Maybe it´s I that should be asking that question. I feel like the stranger within. So close, yet so far from you.

The progressive move toward intimacy is what defines a vibrant relationship.

The cross brought me as close as I can come to you. I did absolutely everything that can be done to heal the broken relationship between you and Me. I have wholly bridged the gap with you as it pertains to Me.

The only thing left is for you to receive… to desire relationship with Me.  

I am continually waiting for you to want to be with Me. I have told you that you can be as close to me as you want to be and the only way that I could make that statement is if I have already done my part to get close.

Your intimacy with Me is now in your hands. I´ve made my decision and I´ve done the work.

The recognition of that work and subsequent moving closer is your response to the recognition of what I have already done.

So come close. I am waiting. Come close prodigal. I am waiting. Come close son. I am waiting.

I have come as far as a I can.
