Being a hearer and a doer of the written word makes us able to handle more of the spoken word of God.
What is waiting for us if we would simply let go of the seemingly safe ledge to which we are and dive into all God is and all He has for us?
The Lord delights in you, He is blessed by you, and when you feel the joy of His presence, you are tasting a bit of the joy He has in you.
When we are more aware of our sin than of the blood of Jesus Christ which removes our sin, relationship will remain superficial.
Anything less than true companionship with God leaves us feeling on the fringes, close but not close enough.
