II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

"Come unto Me...." Matthew 11:28
What GOOD is achieved by reaching out FOR Him, UNless we can come into His proximity? I speak from experience: I required A LONG TIME! One can be in a trance (as was Peter on the house-top), or one may hear His words repeatedly, yet be not LIVING IN HIS PROXIMITY!
But now, perhaps throughout about one decade I have enjoyed His proximity. Yet kid not yourself that His proximity guarantees you "a bed of roses." Surely we cannot deny the fact that His 12 Disciples were in His proximity! Yet time and again, all of them slept under the starry dome; many a day they might have walked 15 of 20 miles on a rough road!
The JOY of living IN His proximity has meant almost instant answers to my prayer requests, while sometimes, the answer has been WROUGHT OUT BY THE EVENTS OF A FEW DAYS.
As and when you HAVE COME DOWN TO BUSINESS WITH CHRIST, THEN does your daily life TAKE ON MEANING....
