Love you all, praying for you,
There is something in life on earth, that has no equal. It’s being in the presence of God. Just you and Him, where His light shines on you, His love fills you, His joy consumes you and overflows. It’s where His rest removes every earthly burden and obligation, it’s where your focus is zero percent on yourself and 100% on Him, it’s where you hear Him, you can feel Him, and you are in that unequalled place where you don’t want to leave. It’s not a procrastination of reality or responsibility, it’s just where you finally feel the knowing that this is where you belong… that this is what you were created for, that this is where you were made to be, fully accepted, fully loved, fully valued, fully immersed in something so much greater than you – that it could have nothing to do with you at all. But yet, it’s everything that you need, and desire in the purest and deepest and greatest sense. It’s where you can just be you, but you are consumed with the One who made you and saved you and loves you – even likes you, and is as glad to be with you as you are with Him – but more. This place can be alone in your room or in your car or in nature, or in the middle of thousands lifting their voices and their hands in Praise to the One who is above everything, who made everything, who designed it and sustains it, who has a plans that will come to pass, that will never fail, that are good, and right, merciful and just, and beyond our greatest imagination. That place of His presence, where you can’t help but worship, and you are in the greatest place of peace and rest that you have ever known, that is unfindable anywhere else, in any other pursuit or dream in life. Just being with the One who made you and loves you and likes you and delights in you, and has unimaginably exciting things in store for you – where you are loved completely – where the past doesn’t matter because it’s been covered. That is a powerful place to be. Moses knew the power, the significance, the irreplaceable importance of His presence. Exodus 33:12 – Moses said to the LORD, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.’ If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people. The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest. Other versions say, I will give you peace, I will give you victory. That’s what happens in God’s presence. So how do you get there. You enter with thanksgiving and praise, when you pray in the Spirit, His presence will fill you, when you spend time in worship – just run a live worship set on your phone, and praise Him, get in that secret place, in that quiet place, in that worship place, and that prayer place, in that Word place, where His Word can change you. Where His presence can fill you. It’s a choice. Praying that you will always go there, that you will always stay there, that you would be so hesitant to leave, that you would be changed there, so God can love others to Himself through you. Praying for you that God would call you to His Presence, and that His Presence will go with you and give you rest. Love you all, dad
