Where sin cannot molest

Laura will be singing an old hymm this week called "Near to the heart of God"

There is a place of quiet rest
Near to the heart of God
A place where sin cannot molest
Near to the heart of God

Oh Jesus blessed Redeemer
Sent from the heart of God
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God.

A hard word picture. I mean the word "molest." Sin does molest us. It strips us down, violates our image and abuses our souls. It is devilish. The closer we draw to Him, the closer we get to the place where we can not be harmed, hurt or harrassed by sin. In this life we do not get there once and for all, but we can get there on a day like Sunday as we sing, as we ask Him to hold us who wait before Him, near to the heart of God.
