Sometimes, it seems that God is far away from us, unconcerned both with the monumental events of the human race, as well as with the minute details of the average human life. Yet, God is not far away, at the ends of the universe. God is near. He is closer to us than we imagine or believe. God is Spirit, and as the Spirit, He has drawn near to man and is readily available to us.

As human beings, we have a finely created organ called our human spirit that allows us to draw near to God, just as He has drawn near to us. God has already taken the step to bridge the seemingly infinite separation between us and Him. Now, through the use of our human spirit, we can enjoy the provision of God to know Him inwardly. In our spirit, God can be more real to us than any physical object on earth and closer to us than any person we love. It is our desire that through this issue, many who may have wondered why God seems so distant will realize the nearness of God and the concern that He has for us, as well as the provision He has granted to us in order that we could know Him.
