Our God is always near to us. He has never been far away from us. We are the ones who must take part.
We are not supposed to be far from God because we are pleased to follow the path of God. The path of God is the path that we see. God is not far from his creation. He loves us so much that he has not abandoned us. We are those who are not willing to stay here.
How could one think of God as far?
We know that God is present in everything we do. We must not think at any time that we can ask for God. We are the ones who are far from God. We are the ones keeping distance from God because of our sinful life.
When we are not following the commandments of God, we are definitely going in a direction that does not suit us. God, let us come back from the path of sin that we might be treading. Let us keep the commandments of God.
It is you who keep the commandments of God. You would keep the comment on that God comes and dwells in him.
