James 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. By faith, we choose to actively draw near to the Lord’s presence and we should be fully expectant for His presence to come.

Night 1 of RECESS made us eager to spend the next 12 weeks to learn what scripture means when it says to love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30). Thank you Jesus that we can have hope in the fullness of your presence when we come face to face with you in Heaven. But may we not wait passively. May we be a bride preparing herself for her groom by tasting and seeing your goodness, love, and glory here on earth.
