More Than All, Nearer Than Here

There is no limit to how much "all" can be when it comes to the all knowing, all powerful, all loving God; just as there is no limit to how near God's "here" is. We are like detectives carefully evaluating the scene for what's behind the scene, studying the seen to determine the unseen. For every "bad" and "worse" in our lives there is a stronger "good" and "better" that God is carefully redeeming from it. And it is not always the decision we make in it that matters as much as the decisiveness with which we make that decision. It is not humanly possible to ever fully appreciate what Christ has done for us, in concert with the Father and His Holy Spirit of course.  That's how big it was and is. But it is possible to be ever growing in that appreciation. 🤔 Either we can soak in the sauna of His sanctifying grace, or we can sulk or steep like teabags in the puddle of our sin: it's an easy choice! O come, Most High, be more than all to me.....be nearer than right here.
