         Do not worry that you feel you are distant from Me. I say you are not distant. I am close to you, right by your side. I long to love you and hold you and whisper sweet words of love into your ears. So sit still now and listen. Let Me speak to your heart about these things that concern you.
         Firstly, I want you to know that I love you. No matter what you do or do not do, I love you. There is nothing on this Earth that can separate you from My love--neither life, nor death, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come; nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature. My love for you is everlasting. It is not here today and gone tomorrow. It is not up one day and down the next. My love for you is eternal, everlasting, unchanging--now and forever.
         So it makes no difference how you feel, whether you feel close to Me or far away; or whether you feel I am close to you or far away. I will never leave you nor forsake you. I dwell in the praises of My people as much as I dwell in the broken and contrite heart. The truth is that I love you so much that I can't bear to be apart from you, which is why I have come to live in your heart--with you and within you.
