“Father in heaven, this morning I am rejoicing in the closeness of the Lord Himself. He was here among people like me in close proximity with them in all the aspects of human life. In the death of the Lord Jesus, He so identified Himself with me that I am free in Him, from the guilt of sin. I would love it if He was to come today. I would be able to see Him with new eyesight. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
