Does God WANT to be with you?
Yes!
His nature is proof of this.
It is his nature to simply be present, omnipresent, as we have discussed. The Scriptures say that God created our identities, ethnicities, histories, and geographies so that we would all reach out for him, grope for him, and find him, THOUGH HE IS NOT FAR FROM EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US! In other words, he designed everything about who we are, everything in our lives, for one single purpose: for us to reach out for him AND FIND HIM, the one who is near all of us! It is His nature to be near, and His purpose to be near.
From the creation of the first man and woman, to God’s responses to Abel AND CAIN, to God reaching out to Noah and his family, to calling himself the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to him speaking face to face with Moses and reaching out to the entire nation of Israel, to him promising Joshua he would be with him just as he was with Moses, to him calling David a “man after my own heart,” to every word God spoke through prophets, TO HIM SENDING HIS SON TO BECOME A MAN, TO HIM SENDING HIS VERY OWN SPIRIT TO LIVE IN EACH AND EVER PERSON WHO WANTS HIM TO, IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT GOD WANTS TO BE WITH YOU AND ME!
As it is written,
Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.
So, the question is not, “Does God WANT to be with you?”
But instead, “Do YOU WANT TO BE WITH GOD!?”
