And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be too. -- John 14:3
While he goes to make a place for me, he also promises to come take me with him. Jesus himself desires to be near me. When I was far away, he drew close to me. The distance is something he cannot stand. Do I make it through a day where I feel sufficient away from him? The issue is not his availability, since "where I am you may be too." The issue is completely on my end then.
Prayer: Jesus, draw me to you. Take me with you on even greater adventures than I can imagine. You died to be near me, so help me to remember my heart's true desire is to be with you. Even as you make yourself available to me, help me to avail myself of you.
