Come Closer

Psalm 145:8 The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. #Bible

This psalm, a Praise to God in His Wonderful work's and interaction with humanity, shares the reason we fear God, and also why we love God.
One point that comes to mind, is we must be looking for God and His acts in our lives. It's not enough to just be living our lives labelling what we think is an act of God.
The people in this Psalm of God payed close attention to what was going on around them, they had a sense of the presence of God.
In our preoccupation with the events of our lives we become blind to the works of God, and usually explain them away as something else.
Our Father has always held an invitation to us to draw closer to Him, to experience His Love for us more fully. I don't believe we can ever exhaust knowing that continued newness of God's magnificent Love.
Another example of God's love is in noticing in the Gospel of John a clear image of the Apostle John, the youngest of the Apostles, reclining in the bosom or lap of Jesus. John, young enough to see Jesus as a big brother, and also as a father, gave him a wonderful view of God's Love, feeling free to recline in the lap of Jesus the Messiah.
I believe this is a wonderful example for us to draw closer to God, knowing that God allows us the liberty to come closer to Him, even an attitude of resting, or reclining in the bosom of God.
It isn't about us receiving more of Jesus, its about us drawing closer to Jesus.
To shed our worldly ties and drop those sins that entangle us like chains, and move closer to God, even reclining in the Bosom of God our Father. Why? Because that's where He has desired us to be all along. Think of all of those mentioned in the Word of God like Moses, Jacob or David, and so on, they all had special relationship's with God, and I believe we are privileged to have these same kinds of relationships also. We just need to come closer.

Helper's

John 14:16-17 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. #Bible

Jesus submits to the Father God in asking, and the Father will give us another Helper. Another Helper means there are two Helper's.
Jesus is here referring to Himself as our Helper, and because He is going to the Father in Heaven, the Father will send another Helper to carry on His ministry to those who believe, and to those who will believe.
Jesus didn't retire from being our Helper, He filled the position of our Helper at our Father God's right hand interceding for us.
The Holy Spirit didn't just come and spend time with us and stand by us, but He filled us with Himself. Not only that, the Holy Spirit surrounds us with His council, His guidance, His intersession with groanings, and even His protection. He is the Spirit of Truth, and the world can neither see Him nor do they know Him, or even receive Him.
We Christian's both know the Holy Spirit and we know He resides with us inside and outside of us.
We are Blessed by our Father God with His complete perfect Help. We can rest in the fact that He has provided us with His perfect Loving care, to bring us to where He is with Jesus our Christ.
If you don't know Jesus the Messiah you are the world. You can know Jesus by simply asking Jesus to be your Savior, inviting Him into your life forgiving your rebellious sins and giving you the wonderful Helper, the Holy Spirit.
All that's left is to tell somebody what you have done and then find a church of believers who study the Bible, God's Word, and join their fellowship, and watch yourself grow into who God created you to be in the first place.
