About This Quote
God is always near. He is always with us, even when we are unaware of Him. When we ask God to draw near, what we're really asking is for Him to make us aware of Him. We need to ask Him to make us aware of His presence because when we know something about God, we know that God loves us and wants what is best for us.
We cannot reason our way into the love of God because it's an unconditional love that transcends reason. It does not matter how smart or well-adjusted you are, if you're not in relationship with Christ, you will remain in spiritual darkness.
