God has never been so far from us. He is never so far from us. He never was. God is always near us. He is by us everytime. He does not go away from us. He created us for himself. He wants that we can be with Him always. So God is never far away from us. Since God made us, there is no time that He is far from us.
We are the ones who have taken a road that makes us very far from God. We have gone in a direction that makes us far away from where we can contact God. Our God is always near us. He is not far from us. We are His children. A loving Father cannot abandon his children. We have taken a direction that separates us far away from God.
We should return back to God and obey His commandments. When we obey the commandments of God we will be close to him.
