Knows Everything

Why do we try to hide the things we do?  Oh we can try to hide them from our family, our friends, our neighbors but our Heavenly Father sees all.  He knows the intention of our heart but still loves us.  He loves us when we do wrong.  He loves us with an unconditional love.  There is nothing we can do that will separate us from our Father's love.  He does asks that we ask for forgiveness when we have strayed and to come to Him with a heart that is ready to repent of the things we have done wrong.  

Remember when things go wrong in our lives and we feel that God is not there for us that it wasn't Him that moved it was us.  God's Word tells us that if we will draw near to Him, He will draw near to us.

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.  Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.  James 4:8

I love the old hymn written by Cleland McAfee many years ago....

Near to the Heart of God

There is a place of quiet rest,

near to the heart of God;

a place where sin cannot molest,

near to the heart of God.

Jesus, blest Redeemer,

sent from the heart of God,

hold us who wait before thee

near to the heart of God.

There is a place of comfort sweet,

near to the heart of God;

a place where we our Savior meet,

near to the heart of God.

There is place a place of full release,

near to the heart of God;

a place where all is joy and peace,

near to the heart of God.
