Closer Than My Skin

Closer than my skin : Intimacy with your Creator.

My prayer all summer- written on my hand each day of mission. Pulled straight from the song Communion by Maverick City. (Banger btw)

Our Maker, bigger than the sea, the sky, the stars, the galaxy, became one of us to prove His love. How wild is His magnitude.

Not only is He closer than my skin when I call upon Him, but He is one with my skin.

He shares in my flesh, so I can share in His divinity.

Although vast, He isn’t hard to reach. Our God is so almighty, yet He’s available.

If when I pray, I feel like there’s a wall between us + He could never hear me, I remind myself:
He is closer than my skin.

He knows my heart more intimately than anyone ever could, because He designed it.

How beautiful that He shares in my human emotion:

Anxiety [ Lk 22:44 ]

Sorrow [ Jn 11:35 ]

Abandonment [ Mt 27:46 ]

Temptation [ Mt 4 ]

& so much more.

He knows us so greatly.
(And don’t even get me started on the beauty of Eucharistic intimacy)

How beautiful is His availability!
