Close To You

Read this document on Scribd: Close To You


Close to You
To feel Your touch
That's my deepest longing
Draw near to You
To seek Your face
and bathe in your love
So refreshing

When I dwell in Your Presence
I find my strength in You
I can taste Your living water
as I worship You

You are my help in times of trouble
You are the author of my faith
You give me joy beyond all measure
My Daddy, I love You.
My Daddy, I love You.


I am so excited about how God loves me, especially after being touched by God's Fatherly love during my recent KL trip. It is a wonderful feeling to know that my heavenly Father loves and cares for me. I still remember how my dad loved and cared for me throughout my growing up years in Penang. Dad gave so much of his life for me and the family, and now as a father myself, I feel that I have unlimited love to give to my 2 children. That is how we understand a father's love, but as I am trying to understand more about the depth and width of God's love for us, I realized that it is not only the knowledge of His love that counts, but the experience of His love that really blows us away. The only way to experience God's love is to draw near to Him. It takes time and effort to be close to someone, and you will soon realize that the time you set aside to seek God is worthwhile because the experience of His love itself surplus the time and effort you would have put in. When my children take the initiative to draw me a picture or just want to spend time with me, I am more than willing to stop everything and pamper them as much as I can. God is a better daddy than all of us. He is the best Daddy ever. He has been there for me through all the seasons of my life, and I can always count on Him.

Friends, give your heart to God, draw close to Him, have fun with Him, and you will soon realize how much He desires to have fun with you. Happy Father's Day.
