We let the most trivial things come between us and God. 

“Not me,” you say, “I don’t let things come between me and God.”

Really? Have you read your Bible today? If not, why not. That came between you and God.

Have you prayed today? If not, why not. That came between you and God.

Have you spent time meditating on God and realizing His place and presence in your life today? If not, why not. That came between you and God.

No time for Bible, no time to meditate, no time for prayer. Time for Facebook, email, texting, and Twitter. Nothing between?

As you read the lyrics to this old hymn, ask God to reveal to you what you have let slip in between you and Him.

Nothing Between by Charles A. Tindley (1905)

Nothing between my soul and my Savior,
Naught of this world’s delusive dream;
I have renounced all sinful pleasure;
Jesus is mine, there’s nothing between.

Refrain:

Nothing between my soul and my Savior,
So that His blessed face may be seen;
Nothing preventing the least of His favor;
Keep the way clear! Let nothing between.

Nothing between, like worldly pleasure;
Habits of life, though harmless they seem,
Must not my heart from Him ever sever;
He is my all, there’s nothing between.

Nothing between, like pride or station;
Self or friends shall not intervene;
Though it may cost me much tribulation,
I am resolved, there’s nothing between.

Nothing between, e’en many hard trials,
Though the whole world against me convene;
Watching with prayer and much self-denial,
I’ll triumph at last, there’s nothing between.
