Have you ever told your child to “Come here, stay close”? Maybe you were in a crowd and were afraid that he or she might wander off, end up lost or, God forbid, get hurt. Or, perhaps they were afraid - a bad storm or dream, and you held them in your arms - tight!

When we are close to Christ we are in the best place to feel His love, live under His protection, know His will for us, and worry less about what may come our way. How close are you? Want to be closer? Maybe, just maybe - right now, Jesus is saying to you, “Come here, stay close!” And, this is the perfect time to respond.
