Show Notes

I want to be closer to You.
I want to feel You when I breathe—
Feel You in all that I do,
Know that You’ll never leave.

I want my life to be about You—
Put Your wants over mine,
Always do as You would do,
Know that I will be just fine.

Jesus, You’ve made me new.
Guide the choices I make.
Everything that I do—
Direct the steps that I take.

• Jesus will dwell with His people forever (Revelation 21:1-5). How does this promise give you hope when God seems distant?

• In the meantime, as Christians, we can rest in the knowledge that God has made us like Christ through the Holy Spirit; we are new creations in Him (2 Corinthians 5:17). By faith, we can claim the power of this transformation in our everyday lives (John 14:25-26; 2 Corinthians 3:18; 2 Peter 1:3). How does this promise give you comfort in the present?

He [Jesus] must increase, but I must decrease. John 3:30 (CSB)

 

Read Verses:
