Draw Me Close to You~ Draw near to God
TJ constantly did everything he could to be close to me. I was that special person: the centre of his universe =P When I'm studying, he will curl up on the rug beneath my table and wait for me. When I'm going to the kitchen for food, he will wag his tail happily at me, perhaps waiting for me to throw him a Rodeo (his fav snack). Hmm...if i have allowed it, he would have followed me to school everyday, he would have slept in my room every night, and he would have sat next to me in church every Sunday morning...oh no...probably Mel wouldn't allow that =D, but in any case, TJ long to be close to me.

Then, there's my longing to be close to God, my heavenly father and friend. It is the best place where I should feel most comfortable, content, and loved. So why, I asked myself, am I not as single- minded as my dog? Why don't I spend most of my time trying to be close to God? True, there are things around me to distract me, like assignments, friends, and other interests- but I think the main reason pursuing closeness with God is challenging is because God is invisible, and only perceived by faith. I recalled when I first entered uni, I've decided not to take any CCA, but in the end, I joined Campus Crusade for Christ. And I'm glad to be among the fellowship of christians in campus. Through our weekly cell, we're able to share each other's burdens and commit one another into prayer, most importantly, God is with us. "For where two or three are gathered I my name, there am I among them" -Matthew 18:20
TJ had his ways of getting close to me. We, as children of God, have His assurance that He is always close to us.

"For I am convicted that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" -Romans 8:38-39
