As we are apprenticed to Jesus in worship, the reality that God has chosen to come near to us with relentless love, rescuing and redeeming his children, fulfills his primary promise: I will be with you! The gift of Holy Spirit indwelling us can give us great confidence to draw near to God with open, honest worship and full confidence that despite feeling his presence (or not) he IS near and he will never leave or forsake those he loves.
