Closer

Christmas Cactus
An angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai. When he saw this, he was amazed at the sight. As he went over to get a closer look, he heard the Lord say: 'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.' Moses trembled with fear and did not dare to look.

“Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given —and you will receive even more.

And now, isn't it wonderful all the ways in which this distress has goaded you closer to God? You're more alive, more concerned, more sensitive, more reverent, more human, more passionate, more responsible. Looked at from any angle, you've come out of this with purity of heart.

You're the closest of all to me, God … I've known all along from the evidence of your words that you meant them to last forever.

There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. Is.40:31
