We are told that the Lord holds us by the right hand, and we hear his voice saying, “Fear not; for I am with thee.” With all the glory of his fatherhood he is personally with every one of his children all the days. Our hope and confidence are in God’s ever-nearness. No human friend is so close.
“For God is never so far off
As even to be near.
He is within. Our spirit is
The home he holds most dear.
“To think of him as by our side
Is almost as untrue
As to remove his shrine beyond
Those skies of starry blue.
“So all the while I thought myself
Homeless, forlorn, and weary,
Missing my joy, I walked the earth,
Myself God’s sanctuary.”
