If you are traveling west towards the Rockies, you can see them from 100 miles out. At that distance if you held up one thumb with your arm extended and closed one eye, you could block them out. However, when you are 5 miles away, the awesome size of those mountains leaves you in awe. They will consume the entire windshield.
In other words, the closer you get the greater in size they appear.
The same principle holds true with God. The closer a seeker draws near, the bigger space He takes up in the life.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
How do you do that? Read the Word on a regular basis and talk to Him from a sincere heart.
Think about it. Selah
