There's more nearer (...again!) - Come Away


Come away into a space of the unknown which knows no boundaries.
With me, ride through the express route on chariot speed as we hear the sound of the birds chirp. Every possible bliss, feel.
Stretch your arms wide and feel the gentle breeze of freedom echo without end, beauty without blot and my nearness surge your senses.
Behold the finest things. The more you see, the more you want to see.
How can this be? You may ask, but the excitement that floods your heart sweeps away every doubt.

What price did you pay for freedom?
On what terms did you agree for rest?
Or what gift did you present to appease? 
That was but a swindle, a rip-off for temporary gain, draw near and see the nail scar on my hands. You may put your hands through if you so please to ease your doubt.
And beyond your boxed understanding, I will teach you to trust. Trust that I paid it all, settled decades ago.

Draw near and see my eyes burn with intense desire for you. Walk with me. 
Permit me make all your dreams come true.
Let me take you past every hurdle of opposition. And when your feet is to be dashed against a stone, I will remove every stump in your way.
Draw near, come away my beloved on a path designed for you. Just me and you. This is how you dare to be different - to stand out and make a difference.


"Whoever has sipped this wine will thirst for more, for although Christ does satisfy, yet it is such a satisfaction that the appetite is not choked, but whetted. 
If you know the love of Jesus as the hart pants for the water-brooks, so will you pant after deeper draughts of His love. 
If you do not desire to know Him better, then you love Him not, for love always cries, "Nearer, nearer." 

        Be gone luring lusts, for my Lord is near;
        With senses in-tune, I hear His voice so clear.
        Behold the promises with comforts dear,
        At rest; me and You together here.
