There are two sayings, among many, that proceed from the mouths of men. As far as men are concerned, they hold true to some extent. The first is, 'Familiarity breeds contempt'. The second is the antithesis, 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder'. This, by and large, describes the situation among people. On the one hand, our personalities (with some exceptions) tend to drive us apart, while on the other hand we long for each others company. When we have entered into a true and deep relationship with our Maker through the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the tables are suddenly turned. There is a bond that goes beyond the physical and emotional and settles into the very core of our being. The very Lord of heaven takes up His abode in our heart. We could no more grow tired of His presence than we could grow tired of breathing. In fact, when the breath is gone from our body, He is still with us to carry us over the river to that bright land that is waiting for us there.
