This is the intimate, ongoing, constant conversation, longing to be together. A life-long love founded in a covenantal relationship. It has a steadfast, rock-solid faithfulness that endures to eternity. It’s the always-on-my-mind when away and fingers always touching when together. This is what God wants more than sacrifice. He longs for Chesed. When we have it, it’s called Grace. It means, God is with you. In the truest sense, to be close to God is to be in His presence.
