Thought for Today: Shabbat February 12:

YHVH is all around you, hovering over you even as you seek His Face. He is closer than you dare to believe and closer than the air that you breath. If all His children could only recognize His Presence, they would never feel lonely again. He knows every thought even before you think it, every word even before you speak it. His Presence impinges on your inner-most being. Can you see the absurdity of trying to hide anything from Him? You can easily deceive other people and even yourself, but YHVH reads you like an open, large-printed book. Deep within themselves, most people have some awareness of His imminent Presence. Many people run from Him and vehemently deny His Existence, because His Closeness terrifies them. But YHVH’s own children have nothing to fear because He has cleansed them by His Blood and clothed them in His Righteousness. Be blessed by His intimate nearness. Since He lives in you, let Him also live through you, shining His Light into the darkness.
