Gods Presence...

I don't want to be anywhere but here in your presence! God your Joy surrounds us and your Peace is with in us. Where else would we feel content then in your presence. I don't want to feel anything but this standing in awe of you! You are truly an awesome God! You are so big and do great things through us and in your kingdom. We are here to Serve and Love on others! This is the greatest thing in life. Through us loving Jesus Christ himself we Love others also! Love is the greatest thing in life and we experience it through God's presence! God your presence is working through our hearts! You are preparing our hearts so we can do good for your kingdom! Psalm 27:4 "...live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life..." Be in God's presence forever!

 Just like the analogy of a sailboat. We need to get to Christ and we get there by the wind of the Holy Spirit. We need to unfurl the sails of our life and allow the Holy Spirit to work in our lives so we draw closer to God. Move closer to the likeness of Lord himself. Sometimes we do not unfurl the sails as much as we need to thinking we can do it ourselves. The wind is needed to move just like the Holy Spirit is needed to grow closer to Christ himself..

Grow more intimate with Christ! Nourish the tree of our life. The fruit will then grow and mature. We grow in our life with Christ when we focus in on the Word of God.

Imagine what it is like in Gods presence and then to stay there! How amazing... why would we want anything else to fulfill? Let alone what else could fulfill? All we need is Christ in our lives for us to feel content! How do we then think other things can fill that void? Nothing else can fulfill! We as humans cannot realize this... and yet we allow Satan lie to us... trying to fill that void with everything else.. lets try to not be so selfish and just go with Jesus Christ from the start! Yet even though the crap happens.. it is hard to believe but God's presence is still there even in the lowest times.. (good to know we are never alone or by ourselves) in those lowest points where the mountains need to be moved there is still hope and faith! It is through those hard times that God uses us the most! We get so low that we finally notice who God is and why he loves us still... even though we feel we ran away or tried to avoid Him. Psalm 34:19 "The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time" His Presence is always there!!

Those times where it feels where is this road going to end... he is still there! I like to see it as a road trip! We take a car ride and sometimes we get to the destination right away. Other times there may be a detour to get there but you still get there, but it is in that detour that maybe it took a little longer but somehow we still needed to take the more scenic route to get to point b. There are times where we get completely lost.... yet we ask others for help so we can get back on track (and that is a thanks to God because He provides that person) Sometimes we just do not even know what the destination is but we get in the car and go through experiences to find a destination (adventurous). Although there are so many routes God is still always there and redirects our lives through the Holy Spirit! Thank you God for that! Psalm 140:13 "Surely righteous people are praising your name; the godly will live in your presence." Live in God's presence! He is always there!

Also getting into the car do we shove Jesus in the trunk and just avoid him or put Him in the backseat to just see how we are doing (but of course we do not like to listen to backseat drivers!) Or maybe we allow him to sit in the passenger seat but what we NEED to do is just hand over the keys get out of the driver seat and let Jesus drive and be in control!! Jesus is the best ultimate driver of our lives and he know how to lead us in our life experiences! When he takes us on our adventures He know the route to get there! He also maybe takes us through some detours to go through the random experiences! He know the route better than anyone! Of course God can't just be the GPS either he need to be the driver because the GPS just guides and yes God guides our lives but better yet he could just control and be there for your whole life! God's presence is always there! Jehovah Shammah (He is always there!) Lets depend on Him to guide and help us to grow closer and stronger in our faith!! God thank you for always being there! There is no greater joy than to be living in God's presence!!
