Not out of His sight

When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. A strong wind was blowing, and the waters grew rough. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were frightened. But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.” Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading. (John 6:16–21 NIV)

There have been plenty of times when I’ve felt either that Jesus was distant from me or that I’ve drifted too far from Him to find my way back.

Although Jesus may not have been physically with the disciples when they began their voyage across the lake, they were not out of His sight for even a fraction of a moment.

Jesus knew their exact location, as well as their circumstances, and was thus able to be at their side at the precise moment when the storm hit and they needed His intervention. He is much the same with us today.

Though His presence isn’t always overt and obvious, and may even seem distant at times, that doesn’t change the fact that He is with us all the time, never letting us out of His sight. He is also faithful to clearly manifest Himself to us in countless ways, during moments when He knows it is most necessary. - Steve Hearts [1]

His eyes are always upon us; 
His eyes never close in sleep. 
And no matter where you go, 
You will always be in His eyes, in His eyes. - “His Eyes” by Steven Curtis Chapman
