God is close to us. Very close.

He shows us in very personal ways.

That’s because despite the wrong in life, God wants us to know what is right.

Like the time I spotted a cardinal when I couldn’t seem to draw one to the feeder.

And the time I found the perfect picture for $3.99.

And the time I found the right color for my new bathroom for $2.99.

And the time I discovered the watering can I’ve always wanted for $5.

But most of all, on that dark day, when out of nowhere, the wind playfully stirred the leaves around my feet, swirling upward, enclosing me in a protective embrace. I surprised myself with a small laugh. God had descended upon me. And I knew it.

These moments are not for a select few. God embodies true love. He reveals himself to you because he cherishes you.

Who else would surprise you?

Only the one who knows what you need.  And when you need it.
