You're not alone
There are different kinds of closeness. We may get face-to-face close, for example, when sandwiched between people on an elevator or while crowding into a sports arena. Then there's the closeness that has nothing to do with being physically near someone, such as having a close friend or relative.
Still closer, however, is our relationship to God. How thrilling to discover that we can never be just a face in the crowd to Him, and that we're closer, unimaginably closer, than any human tie. Man is forever known and loved by God. And that's immensely important to understand.
