Moses reminds Israel in Deuteronomy 4 that God was close by and ready to listen, “for what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the Lord our God is to us, whenever we call upon him?” God is unique and all powerful, “the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other”.
This special relationship with God is something that Jesus talks about in John 15-16, as he prepares his disciples for the time when he is no longer with them. These chapters are filled with the ideas of God’s love and Jesus’ love. “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love… that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” Later on, Jesus says to his disciples, “the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God… I am not alone, for the Father is with me.” Just like Jesus, we are never alone; God is with us, ready to hear when we call upon Him.
